Play Ball

There is nothing quite like an afternoon game on Chicago's North Side. Today is the home opener for the defending National Legue Central Division Champions. This would have been the ideal day to take my father to Wrigley Field. There is nothing I would've enjoyed more than to take him to opening day on his birthday. Today the Cubs open up with Colorado, the last team my dad and I saw together play the Cubs at Wrigley.

PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Faithful readers to this blog know about our trip to this stadium already. As it was on this night, Houston is today's opponent.

Definitely a true pleasure to visit this historic Stadium. Dodger Stadium, nestled into Chavez Ravine, is one of the ballparks I remember watching post-season baseball growing up. Sitting here this May evening, it had the feel of October ball. Temperatures dropped into the 50s and you could sense what it would be like to play baseball here in the post-season. Long-time Dodger rival, the Giants open up the '09 campaign in L.A.
