It's opening weekend of the baseball season in the U.S. When I was young, I was interested in all kinds of sports, like most American boys. Over time, I have become bored with most of it, particularly our version of football, which I despise for its gratuitous violence and crass spectacle. There is still a soft spot, though, for baseball. I spent a bunch of my youth in the cheap seats in Yankee Stadium (two versions back). Thursday was opening day for our beloved Cardinals, who squeezed out a come-from-behind 9 - 7 victory over Tampa Bay.
We are going to try to get to the No Kings rally today with my rollator, camera and help from Mrs. C.
Same for me, used to be a big sports fan. I watched Sweden win over Ukraine in a FIFA World Cup qualification game earlier this week. And I hardly recognized any of the Swedish players. If our National team beat Poland in a game on Tuesday they will be qualified for the World Cup. Fingers crossed.
