Opening Day

Ever since ESPN began broadcasting three games on opening day it has become an official holiday for me. I always take it off from work, no matter what. It is truly the one day a year for me and I hold it sacred. I put on my new Yankees cap (must have a new one for each season) and just sit and watch something I have been denied for the past 5-6 months.

This year it will be a little different. I WILL NOT be working or in front of the 46" wide screen, I will be at Wrigley Field for opening day. The best man from my wedding called yesterday and said he had four tickets. And he asked if I would like to go. The nerve. All I could think of is why are you asking. I thought he knew me. He was my best man.

So Monday I will be well chilled in the old musty stadium at Addison and enjoying the first day of what promises to be an exciting season. Pictures to follow.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
