Today is a special day. Although it is someone’s birthday, everyday is someone’s birthday. Today is special because it’s Opening Day — the Mets in Miami and the Yankees at home.
Opening Day is very special. No statistics, hope and optimism reign supreme. Like race horses starting in the gate. All at the same place, waiting for the start.
And it’s time for the baseball caps to come down from their winter rest (although Corey wears his Mets cap year round).
By the way, in anticipation of Opening Day, I was wearing my Mets cap while walking on King Street in Alexandria, Virginia two weeks ago and got three “Let’s Go Mets” from passersby.
They were also looking forward to Opening Day.
