Opening Day

[sycks22]

I remember the mid to late '90's of going to the Twins opener in the dome. Everyone was excited for the upcoming year, until Brad Radke let up a leadoff bomb and we were depressed again. After a week or so you could get upper deck tickets and sneak down to the lower levels and sit in the front row if you wanted.

I always take the day off. I think this year I will save my Easter baseball cards for Monday afternoon. Hot dogs, cold beer and busting packs while watching baseball seems like a perfect way to spend the day.

As a Phillies season ticket holder I have not missed a home opener in years, usually taking my son to the game with me when he wasn't in college or working. For the past three years my daughter has flown in to spend the home opener with me, and will do so again this year. Here we are last year, ever hopeful, but soon to be disappointed as the Phils lost to the Marlins (the Marlins?) 2-6. The score didn't matter--we had a great time together. Priceless.

Cheers,
Mike
