This is my first year becoming a deeper baseball fan. Where do I start?

Baseballs starting up, always thought it was cool, but thought the games were long and “boring” so I never really got into it, just watched sometimes in the playoffs when it becomes really lit.

So I wanna start watching baseball and getting to know players and teams better.

I’m a fan of all the Houston teams, I root for the astros but never knew much about them for real besides a couple players.

But yea I wanna start, i know a lot about basketball and a pretty decent football knowledge, but not baseball.

Who do I look out for? I wanna watch some ohtani because i hear he is legendary. Where do i get caught up on storylines and stuff, even Astros related.

I’d say my fav astros player of all time is probably gerrit cole lmao because i always thought he was cool looking. I think all pictures are cool looking they just be locked in. But U get the point
