Opening Day



Today is the national start day for college baseball. There are many story lines surrounding this season such as Garret Wittels breaking Robin Ventura's hit streak, runs coming at a premium due to new bats, and Rosenblatt Stadium is only a memory.  For the past seven months we've waited and prepared ourselves for this day.  Opening day is sure to generate some adrenaline and also turn some stomachs.  For northern programs it's the first time being outside and fly balls and pop-ups seem to dance in the air.  The sun never looked so bright and the grass never looked so green.  It's a day to break in the freshman but outside of the first inning it's just another game to the older guys.  Opening weekend doesn't tell how the season will end up but it gives a sense of where you're at.
