Baseball is back! Today was opening day at Comerica Park. Sadly, because I work midnights, I didn’t get to watch the game. The Detroit Tigers hosted the Cleveland Indians and started the season with a win. It’s always exciting when they win on Opening Day. It takes me back to the magical 1984 season, when they started 35-5! My mind always goes back there and the “what ifs” begin. I’d be lying to you if I told you I wasn’t hoping for another trip to the World Series …. AND a World Series WIN.
I plan on watching the replay of the game for sure! There was snow during the game today, and at times you had to wonder how the batters and fielders could see the ball!
Snow didn’t bug Miguel Cabrera (who was back playing first base for the first time in a couple years), as he launched a two run homer in the bottom of the first inning to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
Final Score – Tigers 3 Indians 2. Here’s hoping that we have an amazing season!
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.
