Today is the favorite day of the year for baseball fans. The grass is green. The bats are stained and tarred. The uniforms are crisp and clean. Six months, 30 teams, 182 games. Every team in undefeated. Every team can go the distance and see the Promised Land in October.
For the first time in my memory, Chipper Jones won’t be wearing number 10 and protecting third base. It’s a bittersweet day for the Braves Nation.
Sadly, I won’t be in a standing room only crowd at Turner Field but working in Raleigh. That means I won’t even be watching the game, and I’m trying to devise a way to watch it (maybe turn one of the lobby TVs at our Raleigh office to the game).
The Indian’s opening day is next week and I’m so excited that we got tickets!! They sold out in 6 minutes, but thankfully my husband works at Progressive (who owns the field) and was able to buy presale tickets! YAY Baseball Season!!
My husband enjoys seeing the Indians play when he’s in Ohio. I’ve never been to a baseball game.
yea for baseball! my love is a HUGE fan and he loves the braves too! Also, finally got around to answering or Liebster awards questions mentioned you in my blog post for today as well. thank you!
Yay for opening day!!! Of course, I’ll be rooting for the Detroit Tigers though š
