I'm 53 years old. I was born in Cincinnati, grew up in South Florida where the Braves always had spring training and went to a church where they always came each year for "Father and Son Dinner." For the last 30 years I've lived in the SF Bay Area where both the Giants and the As play and I've been to maybe a total of 10 Major League Baseball games in my whole life.I've NEVER been to opening day... until today!
This evening in Oakland, Karen's As will play Zach's Red Sox and I'll be sucking up hot dogs. peanuts, cracker jack, and beer with the best of them. I'll salute the flag and sing the national anthem, stand and sing "Take Me Out" in the 7th inning stretch and WHISPER "Manny Manny" when he comes up to bat (I am with an As fan after all!)It's OPENING DAY OF BASEBALL SEASON and I'm as excited as a little kid!
