An Ode to Opening Day
Posted: March 29, 2025
There's no place like Wrigley Field to celebrate Opening Day…
A bat, some spikes,
A ball and glove.
I guess you know
what game I love.
With outs and innings,
hits and runs,
it’s based on going home.
And home is where
I learned to play
what brought me joy
most every day.
To have a catch
with my dear dad
meant everything to me.
A brand new season
starts today.
A field of dreams
where my hopes play
while focused on a playoff run
and baseball in the fall.
