Today is very nearly Christmas for some of us, though hopefully without snow in the outdoor venues.
Long-awaited, eagerly-anticipated, sometimes despaired about, and very much something worth cheering for: Major League Baseball Opening Day 2025.
And yeah, I've had the hat for a couple of seasons and break it out for special occasions like today. And no, I still don't like the Designated Hitter rule for the National League (or the American League, either, to be honest), and don't get me started on the Designated Runner. I understand that 'you can't have everything' but I'm unclear why not.
And, returning to the hat, my wife thinks I might need to have it surgically removed.
She could be right. Play ball!
