I am still a big footie (soccer) fan and will die a consummate Tottenham Hotspurs fan, but after living in America for sixteen years, I have grown to love American Baseball.
Monday was opening day for my favorite baseball team, The New York Mets. It started well and they crushed the Florida Marlins by a score of seven to one. It gave us Mets fans hopes because last season was a washout.
There are some real American traditions that I adore and going to a baseball game on a Sunday Afternoon is one of them. I have several anecdotes about going to games on a crisp Spring afternoon or a warm Summer’s evening.
Hopefully this year will be filled with many trips to Citi-Field, the NY Mets home ground. Let’s just hope that this season will be filled with cheers and not tears!
