With the Japan series behind us and three spring training games left over for today, Major League Baseball is set for the "Real" Opening Day. And how fitting is it that opening day is held in the nations capital as the Washington Nationsls take on the Atlanta Braves. For many years it was tradition that the Cincinnati Reds got the distinction of opening day, but I think that this is a fitting opening for the nation. Tonight's game will be broadcast on ESPN at 8:05 EST.
So many teams this year have changed the look of their stadiums that I could write an entire post just about that. Some teams will put on new uniforms this year for the first time. Some kids will step out onto a major league field for the first time in their young careers. Some teams will look at new players as teammates instead of enemies. All in all the off season held a lot of changes. For the most part, those changes have taken place as the teams are now at their respective 25 man roster.
I think for baseball, for the players, for the coaches, and for the fans, tonights opener is long overdue. It is time to stand up and here the roar of the crowd and smell the hotdogs, pretzels, peanuts, and beer in the air. I know for me, at 8 pm tonight, I will be glued to the tv. This sports fan lives for this.
