Yes folks, it's that time of year again. Opening days around the league took place last week to get the 2001 Major League Baseball season underway. Much has been said about money in this league, especially over the last few seasons. Big market teams are increasing revenue seemingly by the season, while small market teams complain that they can't compete. Through this struggle, however, baseball continues.
Spring brings a feeling of rebirth, hence, the perfect time to begin the baseball season.
No matter how good or bad your team did the previous year, a feeling of exitement builds inside you as the season draws near. Fans of every team have a new-found hope that their team will make it to the October Classic. But baseball is more than a sport. It is a social event that draws people of all backgrounds together. Just go to the parking lot of any ballpark two hours before a game begins.
