To lovers of baseball the two best days of the year are Opening Day in April and today, the first day of the World Series. Both are filled with anticipation and hope, so much like a child’s Christmas.
This evening, my home team, The Atlanta Braves, take on the much-hated Astros in Houston. The joke making the rounds is that the Braves may not be able to find Minute Maid Field because the Astros stole the signs. If you don’t get the joke, you can’t be among the true lovers of baseball.
The pundits of sports have plenty to say about the teams, their stars – those likely and not, and even the state of the game, but I have just a few lines of my own to share.
