Opening Day is here! I know I am truly excited...to a point.
We got the news late yesterday that my father-in-law's expected valve surgery has now become a "2 for 1". It now includes a bypass. While the surgery is Wednesday, it puts a large carrion over Opening Day proceedings.
Living in Northern Indiana, we had a couple of scheduled games in the middle of March. Snow had other ideas. We have played a couple of practice games against our Summer Team. A game is a game, but we told our pitchers to throw batting practice speed the game we "lost". We ratcheted them up the game we "won". No holding anyone back now.
We are finally to real baseball...weather permitting. I know my son is excited about playing, but concerned for Grandpa just the same. He is playing, Grandpa telling him to go play. I work in the medical world, so perspective is never lost there. Kids are playing baseball today and it is not life and death. I am acquainted with those decisions.
Scouting is a premium most travel teams do not have. Besides, all we can do is play our game. If we execute, we will have an opportunity to win. If we kick it around, we will not win. We need to play hard, have fun, get dirty. The winning will take care of itself.
Oh, game starts at 5 pm. The rain should start around 6.
