I really enjoyed this one, and all the Easter Rabbit holes I went down before solving.

Am I going to need to know a "starting rotation" is or a "base ball game" is?

Solved, but only because @CPJohnson pulled me out of all the rabbit holes I fell into -- appropriate for Easter!! Thanks, Cynthia. I'm not sure I would have seen it on my own.

I'm out of the box. Good one!

The title had me worried that this was going to be one of those things I know nothing about, so I was relieved to see that Will tagged it with "No Google necessary" and even moreso when that turned out to be entirely true.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

Same here. With the CDs puzzle it was pretty obvious where to start, even though it took me a little while to sound it out. I don't even know if this one has theme answers or not.
