Let the games begin! It's Opening Day...
Sure I'm a golf fan, but my first love will always be America's pastime.
And while the game has been tainted with steroids and diva players, it still holds a special place in my heart and the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
The real exciting thing is how easy it is to follow your favorite teams with today's emerging technologies - for instance, today I was able to use the remote of my DirecTV box to pull up live scores, stats, and multiple games on one screen. Features like that and a wide set of online offerings make baseball a different game from a fan's perspective than the one I followed when I was a kid.
(Cue the harp music and flashback transition)... When I was a kid (circa 1976) you woke up the morning after a late game and had to wait for the Baltimore Sun to arrive in order to see how your favorite Orioles did in the boxscores.
Do people even know how to read boxscores today?
Anyway, it's Opening Day and it should be a national holiday... Tomorrow I'll be ready to focus on the Masters, but today is reserved for Santana vs. Bedard, live from the Metrodome at 7pm.

Eddie Murray ... what memories ... Ripken, Lowenstein, Dempsey, Dauer, Bumbry, Singleton ... McGregor, Boddicker, Flanagan
Looking back on those years, my Birds have recently fallen on hard times, indeed.
