We Made It! Happy Opening Day!
For baseball fans like us, if there’s a better day of the year than Opening Day, I’m not sure what it is!
In the photo gallery above, I tried to pick out some memorable Opening Day scenes, including some “First Pitches” thrown out by United States presidents.
Just to put you in the right frame of mind on this wonderful day, here’s a few words about Opening Day from Wikipedia:
“Opening Day is the day on which professional baseball leagues begin their regular season. For baseball fans, Opening Day serves as a symbol of rebirth; writer Thomas Boswell once penned a book titled, Why Time Begins on Opening Day. Many feel that the occasion represents a newness or a chance to forget last season, in that all 30 of the major league clubs and their millions of fans begin with 0–0 records. Opening Day festivities extend throughout the sport of baseball, from hundreds of Minor League Baseball franchises to college, high school, and youth leagues in North America and beyond. Since Major League Baseball generally starts their season first among professional leagues, their Opening Day is the one most commonly recognized by the general public.”
Good Luck to all baseball fans! Let’s hope your favorite team does better than expected!
