1 Down 80 To Go
Finally, we have baseball in the Bronx and it was well worth the wait. It was a beautiful night for baseball and an even better night for Yankee Stadium. As we start counting down the number of regular season games left we take in every sight, sound and definitely smells of the Cathedral in the Bronx.
It was a bit of a shaky start for Chien-Ming Wang, but after settling down, he finally did what he is best at, throwing ground balls. Joba struggled a little bit finding the strike zone but found his way past the Old Hurt.
Getting the first hit out of the way is always a big challenge. Fortunately, most of the Yankees got that right out of the way last night. The best at throwing up crooked numbers on opening day, Bobby Abreu. Bobby has hit safely in his last 12 opening day games.
Everyone looked good, not totally sharp but good. It will be a very exciting last season at the “Stadium that Ruth Built” and I can’t wait to see more.
