March 27 is as close to Christmas as you can get. I have a hard time calling it Opening Day since two games have been played already. Be that as it may, our family has been waiting for this day since the last out of the 2024 World Series. Spring Training is done. Free agents have been signed. Trades have been completed. Dreams have been delayed as players get sent down to the Minors. And yes, the weather is getting better.
Welcome back, baseball!
Our group chats are about to become more lively. In six weeks, when Ryan comes home from school, the conversations go from digital to to personal.
It will be mornings watching Quick Pitch.
Evenings will be spent switching the TV from game to game.
My dad putting “the horns” on the Yankees, Mets and Phillies.
There will be the occasional commute home listening to a random A’s-Angels game.
Which baseball book will I read next?
Ryan will complain about Aaron Boone.
Caitlyn will say one Phillies’ loss will lead to a ten game losing streak; then a Phillies’ win will turn into a World Series parade.
Matthew, by game three, will be on the lookout for a trade that will help the Mets.
I look forward to everyone under one roof (or a road trip) talking baseball.
This really is like Christmas.
Can’t wait.
