My first love

We watch a lot of sports in our house. I'm an addict. The other day Josh asked me which one was my favorite, which is a good question, 'cause I like a lot them. Basketball? Golf? Hockey? Football? Soccer?

The answer is baseball. That's right, baseball. Why? Because it was my "first favorite sport," my first love. What a joy to follow the Dodgers, to go the game every year on my birthday, to go asleep listening to Vin Scully under my pillow through a little speaker and to fervently collect the baseball cards of my heroes. Baseball.

Which is why today is a great day. Opening day baseball all day long (sadly my Dodgers are losing 4-0 right now in the 3rd, but they're gonna be good this year). And the thought of a long summer of Dodger baseball? Awesome. Thank the Lord we get Vin Scully in Fresno.

By the way, is there any better time of the year for sports?!? Basketball and hockey play-offs. Football and World Cup Soccer on the horizon. Baseball starting. The Masters this weekend. It's like those sports heaven commercials on ESPN. Good times...
