My Opening Day
I've already been to two Major League Baseball games this season in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. But my real 2009 opener is Saturday when I visit Wrigley Field for the first time this year.
Special thanks to Cardinals-fan wife for getting me the tickets for my birthday and for being willing to sit through a Cubs-Marlins game with me. Hopefully, I'll also have to thank her for sitting through 40,000 people singing "Go Cubs Go," one of her least favorite songs.
There are supposed to be a few changes in and around the ballpark this year, including a $15, 2-pound pretzel for sale at the concession stand. We'll see if the wallet and stomach and muster the courage.
I'll have a recap of the experience at MLB's best ballpark later this weekend.
