Wanna know why the Yankees always have their opening day on the road? Easy answer - today it's gonna soar all the way up to 48 degrees in the Bronx. Yup - that's it. Just a little too cold for the boys having spent the winter in Florida.

I still garden a lot. Did I mention that the school was a NYC public school. Back in the fifties it was a different place.
ReplyDeleteThe daughter won the raffle for the Savannah Banana's Boston game. The Braves play the Sox in a two game series the days before the Banana's Boston game. I just scored 2nd row and 6th row seats behind the visitor dugout. Braves and Bananas baseball in Beantown in June. The Banana's have sold out every game, both home and away, for the past six years.
