Baseball RoundTable’s “Happy Opening Day” gift to all BBRT fans. Actually, it’s a re-gift from 2012, but this comedy bit – at least for me – never gets old.
No that you’ve had some fun, here’s BBRT’s rant. This year, we’ve had Opening Continent (Australia); Opening Night (San Diego) and now, finally, Opening Day. Whew! Having one team (LA Dodgers) play 3 games, while 27 of the 30 MLB teams have played zero, makes as much sense as the three or four ceremonial “first” pitches we so often see. Maybe, I’m old school (certainly the “old” part), but I miss the days when the NL opener was always in Cincy, the AL in Washington D.C. and everyone else opened on Day 2. Oh, yeah, and there was just one first pitch and no “wave.”
Regardless, it’s great to have baseball and box scores (not to mention hot dogs, scorecards, Twins caps and 6-4-3 double plays) back. I’ll be at the Twins’ home opener April 7. Hope all BBRT followers make their home openers.
