I remember my first Opening Day very well. We lost 4-2 to the Cardinals on a two-run home run. I remember my first at-bat, a double, missed a home run by a couple of feet. I had an intentional walk and another hit and went 2-for-3, and I thought I was on my way to the Hall of Fame.
He will get five starts instead of six. It's just to make sure, give him plenty of time. He is still on schedule to start opening day.
I promise you tomorrow you'll see the Opening Day lineup.
He's ready for opening day. Yep. No doubt about it.
Every Opening Day is special to me. When they don't become special to you, it's time for you to get out of the game. You get butterflies, and can't wait to get started. You look forward to it from the time the season ends until the next Opening Day.
You feel especially good inside when the kids go out there and do a job for you. This team is probably going to have a different face on it by the time we see it next year opening day.
I haven't even thought about it. ... The important thing is I'll have one for opening day.
