It is a sport that we all grew up playing. A sport that we all fantasize about playing at a professional level because we know how to do it. We watch the game and tell ourselves "I could do that" because we have done it in our youth. It is for that reason that I believe that baseball is the greatest game. Unlike football where the players are all behemoths and anyone under six feet four inches tall is an oddity in basketball, baseball is a sport that we all watch and say to ourselves "I can do that".
Yesterday was opening day for my new home team, the
Houston Astros. They won, 8-2 over the Texas Rangers. I have always been a baseball fan (short for fanatic or fancier). I grew up close to St. Louis so the Cardinals are in my blood but I will root for my new home team. They play at
Minute Maid Park near downtown and I cannot wait to go to my first game. I do love this game.
Play Ball...
