Major League Baseball – the 2019 version – kicks off in full gusto today across America!
When, as a young boy, growing up in Maine, decades ago, the season was/became a true right of passage.
You couldn’t wait for it to get under-way.
When box scores meant something sacred to you…way before the term “analytics” clouded the existence of Man.
The radio and your dog were the centers of your universe!
Guys named Kinder, Doerr, Pesky, Stephens, Dom DiMaggio, and someone called The Kid became out-of-state relatives.
And, mustard stains covered the majority of your T-shirts!
ah, it starts again today…
My Boston Red Sox open their season at T-Mobile Park, against the Seattle Mariners, and Chris Sale will get the ball as they attempt to become the first major league team since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees to win back-to-back World Series.
They’ll have their hands full…it’s a tough task.
There has been Major League Baseball for 150 years, and it is the only professional sport in which the team of your choice offers daily programming for six months.
Continuity and routine.
Starting today, the Red Sox will play 11 games in 11 days.
Tough slough to start a season!
Before I end this post, has anyone seen a kid with baseball cards flapping in the spokes of his/her bicycle recently?
I thought NOT…
Sad, because a Birdie Tebbetts card made one hellva lot of noise.
Get rid of your iPhones, and start to enjoy life!!!
