Drink it up and hunker down

Last year was my first year of the Experiment To Love Baseball; I don't follow sports and I decided that I would go all in. Joined a fantasy league, shared an mlb.tv premium subscription, bought a hat.
This year, I didn't get in to a fantasy league, which is sad, because I don't have a favorite team, which kinda means the experience of watching baseball has no end-game for me. I wouldn't be doing it to see if "my team" got the pennant, or that "my players" did well. I'm still trying to keep up though.
My question is, I'm looking for a good quality Standings Board that I could update every day on the wall of my cubicle, something not so huge, like maybe 11x17; something like that. Just a little ritual every day to remind me that baseball exists and I should watch it. Any ideas?

I'm sure you looked, but Amazon sells that exact thing for $40. Or you can just buy the mini pennants for $10 and make your own.

What's the best way to bend the bill of the cap a little? Just crank it over my knee? I'm a dork that hasn't owned a baseball cap since I was a kid.

I usually find a cup that's the right size for the amount of bend I want and stuff it in there for a day or two

I did a little searching and found pages eight years old, so I'll ask here: which stadiums have actual organs? I'm aware most have a person at a Yamaha board set to an organ-like preset, or just entirely prerecorded sounds.

I read the organ was carried between Yankee Stadiums, and there's no mistaking the calliope-like sounds at Wrigley, but I have no idea about most of them. Dodger Stadium has had a player for decades, but since the new owners started implementing their fan experience it seems that I hear her less and less.

It's still better than the NHL, where only like one team (Chicago) has an actual organ installed.

The Cell has this
