Mention the words "Opening Day," and all the true American sports fans out there know exactly what you mean. There stands no need to even mention the name of the sport you’re referring to.
Baseball's Opening Day indeed stands alone.
Often something unique happens on opening day, sometimes it's iconic, bigger then the game itself, like when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947.
Sometimes a feat is performed that is simply awe-inspiring, such as when Bob Feller pitched the first Opening Day no-hitter in seven years earlier in 1940.
Regardless of what happens or does not, there are some things about Opening Day that make it great no matter what happens.
Going to a game, being at the stadium there is an extrasensory overload that somehow someway makes everything a bit better. The fresh-cut grass smells like flowers, the leather from your glove smells all the sweeter and the sun seems to shine a brighter and warms the soul all the more.
All to world seems better on Opening Day. It’s not unlike seeing an old familiar friend again one that helps you remember all the good times.
“Play ball!”
