The smell of spring is in the air, blue skies, crisp morning air, beer, cracker jacks, bats, balls and young men's fancies turning to baseball.
Today is the Home Opener for the Detroit Tigers!
Yea!
I heart baseball. Always have been a huge fan and I have a pretty impressive baseball card collection.
Today, hubby will be at the game. He's been to every home opener for the past 20 years with his friends.
This year is differnt for the Tigers though, they are kicking some ass and taking names. The have gotten off to an impressive 5-1 start, the best start for them in 20 years. They are leading the league with a very impressive 17 home runs in only 6 games.
It's going to be an exciting year this year and I hope the TV stations are kicking themself for not wanting to air Tiger games. We only get to watch 112 games on TV out of 162 games they play. The other teams around the league have just about every game on TV.
