Springtime is a very special time of year. The sun is beginning to come out more regularly, the wildflowers are in bloom, and baseball’s opening day is right around the corner. Opening day has always been a very special day for me. Whether I ditched school with my friend and we listened to the game on my transistor radio, watching it on TV, or the one time I had the opportunity to attend a game in person. I loved it in the past, and I still love it. It’s only a game, but baseball is my game and it has brought me countless hours of pleasure over the years.
