Even though I don't get into baseball as much as I used to when I was a five-year old boy playing catch with his dad, I still find a great appreciation to Opening Days, particularly home openers. Something about the grass starting to show its green color in the Spring sun, about the sound of baseballs echoing in the catcher's mitt, there's nothing quite like it.
I am heading to the Sox opener and hope to enjoy all these sounds and sights from my 500 level seats. Not the best seats, but any seat on opening day is a great seat.
There's plenty of excitement spread out across my two social networking sites, and with good reason. Even though not much is expected out of the White Sox this year, the concept of Opening Day allows you to be delusional, if only for 3 hours and 9 innings.
A few beers to be consumed, bratwursts to be digested and hopefully, a White Sox winner are all in the horizon. Happy Opening Day to US Cellular Field baseball. May everyone enjoy it and the rest of the season. Hopefully, our squad will surprise us this season.
