Let's start with a game: Who am I?

1. Every year, everyone takes me for granted until September.

No, I'm not Braves manager Bobby Cox. No one pays much attention to him until October, when his perennial regular-season champion turns into postseason pumpkin.

2. Even in September, no one gives me a second look when they're watching the game on TV.

No, I'm not your spouse. And if you plan on camping in front of the tube again this weekend, don't even joke about that.
