One of my most favorites times of the year is upon us. The start of baseball season. Although high school baseball has been going on for a couple weeks now, the major league baseball season opening day is today. For me that means the start of the Atlanta Braves season.
The Braves open with the Chicago Cubs this afternoon at 4:00. I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather do than tune in, besides actually being there in Atlanta. I would like to make it to a Braves game this season, seeing as how this is manager Bobby Cox's final season at the Ted, but we'll see.
Baseball season always brings with it warmer weather, hot dogs, hot summer nights at the ballpark and plenty of excitement.
Of course Rowan County American Legion baseball won't start until the end of May, but it will be here before you know it. I'm wondering if Rowan can top last season's magical run? I'm not saying we can or that we won't, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
So, I've got my Braves shirt on and my toma-hawk chopping arm ready to go!
Here's to baseball season!
