Just saying or hearing those two words always makes me feel a little bit better. Opening day is like a mini-version of Christmas with its special gifts for all baseball fans as the Orioles and Nationals begin their seasons today. It’s a new season with new hopes and your team is undefeated at least for today. Life is good then on opening day. Tom Boswell even wrote a book with the title Why Time Begins on Opening Day (click here.) I couldn’t agree more with him.
Baseball starts today for the Cubs too. Hate to disappoint Eddie (video below) but Sports Illy has picked his Cubs as the National League team to go to the World Series this year. Let’s see how the SI jinx works out this year for them. (Others are also picking the Cubbies (click here.)) Just remember, this time last year, many of these same experts were picking the Nationals to make the World Series and we all know how that prediction worked out.
