For baseball fans, yesterday was the first day of the rest
of the year. It was opening day in Major League Baseball, and the boys are back
in town. Every team will start its season in the next couple of days; every
team will feel it has a chance for the diamond ring come October.
I probably jinxed my favorite team – the Atlanta Braves – by placing preseason bets in Las Vegas that they will win the National League
pennant and the World Series. They've got a good-looking team this year and
open their season today in New York against the Mets.
We'll see if the Braves can get into post-season play after their
162-game season ends on October 3, either as the National League East Division
winner, or one of two (one more than last year) wild card teams. I've got my fingers crossed for them.
It's a brand new season, and for the teams and us fans, hope
springs eternal.
Go Braves!
