DESPITE FRIDAY'S NON HOME-OPENER, I HAD A BLAST ON OPENING DAY 2007

After the opener, I hung out with Batman and Robin at The Thirsty Parrot.

The weather played a big role in Friday's non-home opener. The cold temps kept a lot of people away from the ballpark. This year's pre-game festivities included the National Anthem being sung by a US soldier live from Iraq. There's something magical about Open ing Day...even when they don't officially get the game in. The game has been re-scheduled for 1:05pm today...then another game tonight at 7:05pm.
As much as I love baseball, I never understand why they start the season when they do. If snow is a factor, it seems like they should wait until at least the middle of April to open the season. I kept waiting for the BROWNS to take the field yesterday. It's hard to believe that this is only the third time an opener has been postponed due to snow.
HERITAGE PARK is awesome! The Indians got this one right on! It's worth a visit to the outfield to check out this tribute to Tribe players from the past.
