Opening Day 2009
Its official, today is the big day for most Major League teams including the Jays today. Im not going to make predictions here only to say that I think that most fans who have written off the Jays forget who is managing them and I do think that whats on paper will not necessarily match whats on the field. This team will be better than expected. Maybe not a playoff team, but they will be better than people think.
As long as I can remember I have been a Jays fan despite what others tell me. My earliest memories are of 1985 against the Kansas City Royals in the playoffs, 1987 and the late season drop off with the Tigers.
My favorite player is George Bell, watching him hit was just amazing. If it was close to the strike zone the guy had a chance to hit it out of the park and his MVP season in 1987 was one few Jays fans will forget.
I've had my years where my interest tailed off especially after the strike shortened year, but I never lost total interest. Despite the steroid scandals and the crap that is in the sport, I can't put baseball aside. Its in me. The World Series ends and I start thinking about opening day.
Here are some Blue Jay/baseball tidbits to celebrate opening day 2009:
