Opening Day All Around Cheshire
"I love Opening Day. I think we all do, whether it's the players, coaches or front office. It's just a special day in our American culture. It's weaved into the fabric of what we are, and I think it's a great day."
- Padres manager Bud Black
There is something so wonderfully exciting about opening day. It is more than just the first day of the baseball season, it symbolizes a sort of re-birth.
It is a time to forget last year's baseball season to start a clean slate. It is a time for Cheshire to forget that the cold winter ever happened, strip off our winter coats and put on our baseball caps.
It is a time and a place to bring the Cheshire community together for cross town rivalries, hot dog eating and bleacher cheering.
Opening day is one of the most popular days to play hooky in America for good reason - it's a true sign that spring is here and it is time to play ball.
