"It ain’t over till it’s over," he once told us, and now that it really is sadly, touchingly and poignantly over for the great man, say this: He leaves us smiling.

With the 2015 MLB award season looming, Zack Greinke has some company in the chase for the National League Cy Young.

Jake Arrieta just keeps putting up zeroes for the Chicago Cubs. And don't forget about Greinke's teammate with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw.

There's a sadness that comes at the end of September because Major League Baseball's regular season is coming to an end, but it quickly gives way to excitement knowing the World Series will be decided in October. 

This year's postseason is especially enticing than ever because there's not one dominant team clearly playing better than everyone else. The National League Central has arguably the three best teams in baseball, but one of those teams will be sent home after the Wild Card Game. 

When New York Yankees legendary catcher Yogi Berra died Tuesday at his home in New Jersey of natural causes at the age of 90, the baseball world lost one of its most recognizable and popular figures ever.

That much was clear on Twitter, as well-known names across sports and entertainment paid their respects to the Hall of Famer.

There are just two games on the docket for the early MLB DraftKings contests. That means you've got close to a 25 percent chance to pick the right guy at each position. The short recommendation is to stack Houston Astros hitters with a sprinkle of Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox bats. Read on for more detailed advice.

Here's a breakdown of the best picks to make.

That's why over the next few slides, we'll take a look at some fresh, young talent gracing the minor league baseball scene. The following players may have been drafted just this summer, but they already turned heads in their first professional seasons. 

After getting the ball rolling behind the dish, the B/R MLB 300 now moves up 90 feet to the most power-packed position in baseball: first base.

We analyzed many first basemen, but the final list consists of 25 names, with each player rated on a scoring system that adds up to 100.

As of Tuesday, the playoff odds from BaseballProspectus.com gave eight teams a 99 percent or better chance of making the playoffs. Two others were a little above 90 percent (the Texas Rangers at 90.8 and the Houston Astros at 90.5).

There are 10 spots in the tournament. Eight are basically wrapped up, and the other two aren't exactly close.

Is it time to turn your attention elsewhere and rejoin baseball when the postseason begins October 6 with the American League Wild Card Game?

1. Young Manager Trend Is Getting Old Fast 

There could be as many as 10 managerial openings before the first tee times of the offseason are scheduled, and looking at the potential junkyard of spare parts and rusted-out chassis, the early question of the winter is this:

Is the trend toward hiring young skippers with no coaching experience who recently retired as players headed the way of the black-and-white scoreboard?
