Today is Opening Day.
Other than family, pets and select friends, I love baseball more than anything in the world.
I look forward to this day from the second the last out is made in the World Series.
Opening Day can be enjoyed by even the most casual of baseball fans.
11 of the 14 games start at 4:15 or earlier.
I must admit that’s also an optimistic take.
Well, standalone except for the giant basketball tournament that averaged over 9 MILLION VIEWERS last week!
The high so far is 15.3 million for Sundays late afternoon window, led by Kentuckys victory over Illinois.
I think a big part of happiness in life is knowing who you are.
I was never going to be an NFL linebacker no matter how hard I tried.
I have shoulders so scrawny, they could cut glass.
Understand what your limitations might be.
Why is it that Major League Baseball can never seem to understand theirs?
It’s not 1954 anymore.
Baseball doesn’t just get to sit at the head of the table just for showing up to dinner.
They aren’t the biggest game in town.
The MLB can have Opening Day be whatever day they want it to be.
Why not Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this week?
Or those same days next week?
Why set it up so the first FOUR days of your season get overshadowed?
If it’s possible for you to, be the top sports story of the day.
Opening Day is a positive thing.
It’s rare that you might schedule a day far in advance that you know will make people happy.
It’s rarer still to then plan that day when you’ll overshadowed by dinnertime.
