If you’re a fan of the game, you’ve been dreaming of this
day ever since you were little. Some might say it’s bigger than Christmas. Some
might even say it’s bigger than their own birthday. Some have never been and then
there are some that get to go every year.
That’s right, I’m talking about the one and only Opening Day
of baseball. Most people only think about Major League Baseball when talking
about opening day but the first day of the season is always exciting no matter
how old you are.
Opening Day makes everything better. The smell of peanuts
and cracker jacks, the fresh cut grass, and the bright sun is always better on
the first day. Granted nobody likes to lose and see their favorite team lose
but it sure beats being in class or at work.
The MLB has some intriguing Opening Day match-ups this year. Opening
Day 2017 is a mere four days away. The schedule for this year’s opening day is
stacked with the Cubs @ Cardinals, Royals @ Twins, Angels @ Athletics and much
more.
Baseball is America’s past time and it seems like lately
baseball is starting to make somewhat of a comeback. Some of the young stars
are starting to make baseball fun again. Players like Mike Trout, Bryce Harper,
Anthony Rizzo, others bring a young feel to the game. Younger and younger kids
are starting to like baseball more and more and its doing helping the game in
ways you couldn’t imagine.
Moral of the story is just that, if you have a child, boy or
girl, don’t tell mom and have a little fun and take your child to Opening Day. Get
them some cotton candy and ice cream in a helmet. See the smile on your kids
face and they’ll love you forever. Like they say, anything is better than being
at work or school.
