Yep. IMHO, opening day is the first day of Spring. Go White Sox. I am looking forward to bar arguments with Cubs fans again this season. They have new owners so they think they are on top of the world.

They lost me back in the 90s with the strike. Was a big fan before, but that was enough for me to switch to becoming a hockey fanatic. I may try to catch a game or two this summer to see if I can get the fever back.
