50 Things For Baseball Fans

So today’s post was inspired yesterday in the Renegades office. On the eve of the snow storm of the century we had a discussion regarding what we each like to do on snow days. Some people said go skiing, some people said watch movies, and some people (like yours truly) like to sleep! This got us thinking, what else is there to do on a snow day? Well, we’re here to help! We’ve put together a list of things for baseball fans to do on a snow day! Feel free to comment and add your own suggestions.

And if you’re on the east coast chances are you’re home today. So let us know if you do any of these activities! Enjoy your snow day!
