This was the first time in many years that I was unable to actually watch the Tigers on the first day of baseball. For several years, I have been able to find the game on TV – even if I have not been in Michigan. There are always bars and restaurants that will change a channel to please a customer.
But not this year. This year, I found myself on a cruise ship in Jamaica in the Caribbean on Opening Day. And, not just any cruise ship – it was a cruise ship owned by a European country.
