Still love baseball even though it's harder and harder to catch regular season games. The best playoff sport with hockey.
1. Any Opening Day memories? I had a buddy who was on the board of the Babe Ruth museum Camden Yards (cool place actually). They'd have all you can eat pit beef and all you can drink beer before the game. Very few actual memories because of the all you can drink aspect other than one year I was sitting as snow poured down into the stadium. Then my oldest was born and hindered getting blind drunk at midweek activities for a while.
2. Any bets? Took Red Sox to win division (+1800 with a promo boosted to +2700). Last four times they finished last, the next year they went win world series, last place, lose ALDS, lose ALCS the next year. 78 wins last year despite 400 things being awful, injured, and/or bad decisions. Exciting to see some of the young guys.
3. And, of course, for the Mets fan in your life...

4. Any wild favorite teams out there like Royals fans or Dbacks?
5. Eff the Yankees. Hard to hate as much in a much more antiseptic era of baseball but, well, I'll find the hate.
6. Wherever greenarthur is, I hope he's cursing JD Drew's contract.
Let's go Sox
