It’s my favorite day of the year—MLB’s OPENING DAY. Baseball makes me nostalgic for simple summer days when arguments were usually smack talk between a Phillies fan and a Mets fan. I love watching baseball and hearing the crack of the bat and the ball hitting the catcher’s mitt. It is music to my ears. I can put the world’s worries on a shelf for a few hours and cheer (or yell at) my favorite team. Life is good.
Opening Day of MLB
Phillies Phans are Pheeling Phine
Energized for another season
Nine innings of nail-biting nervousness
Insurance runs a plus
Never count us out
Going yard – ring the bell
Day game or night
America’s Pastime lives on
Young & old alike

I love a good baseball game! My team is the Astros and I always go to a home game when I’m back in Texas for the summer. I’ve never been to opening day before…I bet it’s super special!

My family is pretty excited about this, too – what a fabulous acrostic! One of my favorite poetic forms.

I’m a sucker for alliteration so I love the Phillies Phans are Pheeling Phine line, especially. Glad I stopped by for a fun, positive post on baseball. I was literally having a tough conversation about baseball and the White House a minute ago.

Oh my gosh-I wrote about opening day, too! I was a Phillies fan for a couple of years when we lived across the river in NJ. Enjoy your game! 🙂
