When the schedule first came out, I honestly couldn’t believe that the Colorado Rockies weren’t going to be playing on the Fourth of July. With Major League Baseball so drawn to celebrating Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day and other holidays with special uniforms and commemorations, it’s a shock that any team would have Independence Day off.
Yet here we are, celebrating America’s birthday without our favorite team on the diamond.
I know, first world problems, right? Certainly there is much to celebrate in our country (and so many reasons to be thankful for our freedoms, including the sacrifices made by the men and women of our military).
