Opening Day!

"Today the Times reported the arrival of the first pitchers and catchers at the spring training camps, and the morning was abruptly brightened, as if by the delivery of a seed catalogue."

Well I feel the same way about Opening Day! This is my 4 or 5 straight opening day. It has become a tradition. This year was was a bit hectic as I flew in from California in the morning. Got to the ballpark and my seat right as the first pitch was delivered...a strike! Full house at Coors Field...always alot of optimism...unfortunately after a loss the next night not so many optimist in the stands. Always amazed by the turn out on opening day and who comes. Especially alot of 20/30 something women. Great untapped market by major league baseball. They are always there for opening day then disappear after that and let all the retirees from New England come in. Overall nothing like the promise of new baseball season just like Spring. Nice day, good crowd, awesome brat, and some good beer to wash it all down. It is a beginning of hopefully a good season filled with untap potential. People should always smile about opening day...it means more than just pitching and hitting, it is a rebirth...a underlying theme to all of us that we have untapped potential just waiting for us and always a chance to start a new...
