This year, Rob Vaughan and Stephanie Liscio decided to do a point/counterpoint piece on opening day. The following will discuss the magic of baseball’s return, juxtaposed with the argument that attending the home opener is bad and should be avoided.
Opening Day—My Favorite Day of the Year
Rob Vaughan
No matter to what extent the Browns and Cavs have created championship aspiration letdowns (again) over the past year, nothing resuscitates my passion for Cleveland sports like Opening Day… it marks the end of the annual long-term sabbatical with no Cleveland Indians Baseball since the end of the previous season…it means many trips to the ballpark are on the horizon…it signifies Spring weather (maybe) is finally here…it boasts our 0-0 win/loss record and that our quest for the playoffs beings today…Opening Day fosters a new hope, a feeling that “this is the year”…every…single…year!
