It's almost here. My sports holiday is opening day. I plan on getting my work done early so that I can get home and sit on my butt all day and watch 'America's passtime'. My ideal day would include a spot in the bleachers of a baseball game, with scorebook in one hand, a hot dog in the other hand and a cold beer in the cup holder. There is nothing better.
Opening day is the day for optimists. Everybody has the same record and there's a chance for everybody to make a run and end up in the playoffs and the World Series. Even my Kansas City Royals (hey, it happened the Rays). Opening Day is also a sign that we made it through winter. The bitter cold is gone and the green grass and sunshine is here.
Hell0, baseball. It's good to see you. I've missed you.
