Baseball

Posted by Reverend Ref + at 9:25 AM

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I am not a fan of baseball in general. I could give a bunch of reasons for that, but that's not the point of this particular post.

I caught a brief clip on SportsCenter this morning about the home opener of the Minnesota Twins.

I am not a fan of baseball, but even I have to admit that it made me smile to see the Twins playing in a real ballpark -- outside, in the sun with real grass and real dirt. No more losing balls in the roof. No more giant plastic baggies stretched across the rightfield seats.

Combine that with the Twins' signing of catcher Joe Mauer, hometown boy who grew up close to the old dome, drafted by hometown team, and may just play his whole career with said team, and the Minnesota Twins might just be my new favorite team.

No, I'm not a fan of baseball, but the Minnesota Twins are doing something right.

Even as a die hard Red Sox fan, I did not begrudge them beating us in their stadium debut yesterday. It's a beautiful park. They're a fun team. It was a day that was good for the game of baseball. And now all bets are off. I want my boys to take the next two & win the series. ;-)

I have been a Red Sox fan all my life. Mark
