Opening Day. Those two words are so exciting. So hopeful. Before the first pitch of the season is thrown, every team is in the playoff race. Every player is a potential All Star. Seriously, who had Geraldo Perdomo as an All Star this time last year? A 162 game season has a way of weeding out the good from the bad, though. No single game can really make a difference when there are 161 other days to try again. No player can be crowned a legend based on a small sample size of one game in March or April.
