Baseball Is Here!

Finally, after a long winter, it's baseball season again. This winter has seemed longer than most, I think this mostly is a result of not having the NHL this season. It was noticeably missed by myself this season, and all the rest of the NHL fans and especially my fellow fans here in Capitals land. This baseball season is going to be special though. This season is the inaugural season for the Washington Nationals, known as the Nats here in the DC area. As a whole, people are very excited to have baseball back in our nation's capital. I'm one of those thankful people for baseball in Washington. Tickets to the home opener at RFK Stadium sold out an hour after they went on sale on ticketmaster. I didn't get tickets for the home opener because the day before I managed to come across opening day tickets for the Orioles. I'm really excited. The home opener is tomorrow, and I've never been to a season opener for baseball before. The game is at 3:05 in the afternoon. I'm really looking forward to it. Adding to the nostalgia of opening day tomorrow is the fact that the birds are taking on the Oakland A's tomorrow. This is a nice added touch as the first games I went to as a kid were to Oakland A's games when we were stationed in California in the mid 80s. I'll be rooting for the O's of course, but it will be nice to see my second favorite team in the AL playing tomorrow. Here's hoping for a wonderful season this year, Let's go Orioles and Let's go Nationals....
