Baseball is Back!

Baseball is Back! by WisDoc.
As March turns into April, I realized that Opening Day for baseball is just a few days away! Always an exciting time of year because every team starts out with an equal chance to win it all:)

Baseball brings back wonderful memories for me. Going to my first Major League game with my dad and my brother at the old County Stadium in Milwaukee to cheer for the Brewers…catching a glimpse of my mom and brothers getting settled in the stands as I hit my first and only homerun in Little League, truly memories I will carry with me forever!

I remember staying with my uncle while my parents vacationed in Alaska (before we moved here). He would watch the Brewers on TV, but listen to the radio. It was really wild. We have no major league sports in AK, except hockey which I play pretty good :)

You betcha! My memories are similar and wonderful also: opening day for the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field, skipping school to go with my friend and his father, sitting in the bleachers, smelling cigar smoke and beer, watching Ed Bailey come to bat, bang out a double (coulda been a triple but he was a catcher, bit slow), seeing Wally Post pinch hit for a single and drive him in, watching Joe Nuxhall take the mound in relief for the last two innings and tamp down the Milwaukee Braves (not Brewers! not Atlanta Braves!), going home and dreaming of playing big league ball. Ah, baseball! Wonderful photo, thanks for posting.

Wow, I'm touched by all of your comments! Thank you so much for your visits and positive feedback! And thank you for sharing some of your baseball memories - to me, there is just something special about baseball. When I think of baseball, I think of beautiful sunny days, the fresh smell of the bright green grass, and the magical atmosphere of being at or playing the game:) Hope your favorite teams do well this year!

~as a complete seamhead I am glad baseball is back and spring his here...as I sit in my office pit and look out my window I can see directly into PNC Park which is right across the street and I tend to fall into a daze when looking out that window thinking about games and such~
