The Home Opener: the series that the team and the fans had been waiting for. The unveiling of the WS banner, the ring ceremony, the general warm fuzzy homecoming feel of it all had long been anticipated.
In a pregame ceremony Monday, the WS banner was unveiled at a snail’s pace, which I would like to think was just the universe’s way of reminding us how long we had waited for this moment. Rich Dauer, who had a brush with death immediately following the World Series parade downtown, threw out the first pitch to AJ Hinch in what was an emotional & beautiful moment.
