Welcome to the 2015 TheGoodPhight Over/Under/Never Roundup and Antique Tractor Rally! In this year's contest, it will be exactly the same as last year, with the exception of different events and, instead of not having actual chili, we will not have actual antique tractors.
Or, you know, unless you do have an antique tractor, in which case you probably win.
If you've seen this before, you know the drill. If not, we have a selection of events and corresponding dates, with varying levels of plausibility. Your task is to judge whether the event will take place before (under), after (over) its given date, or not occur at all (never). If an event occurs on its date, it will count as an over. This is for the 2015 season and playoffs, if applicable, so neither Spring Training nor winter ball are counted.
The Events!
