The very first jersey I saw after I walked up the ramp into the seating bowl at yesterday’s Opening Day game against the Baltimore Orioles was . . . a brown and yellow #2 San Diego Padres jersey with “Bogaerts” written on the back.
Granted, between the trip on the Green Line, the walk to the ballpark, and a quick stop at the Bullpen Bar, I saw hundreds of jerseys that weren’t subtweeting the Red Sox front office, but still, that jersey was somewhat representative of the happy that baseball is back but sort of skeptical vibe in the stands yesterday.
