What a cold Easter weekend it's been here in Connecticut. Both yesterday and today featured temperatures that did not make it out of the 40's. Hard to believe that the calendar says mid-April, and we're one week into the 2009 baseball season. At least there's hope for the upcoming week that we'll see temperatures into the 60's as we move into mid-week.
The Yankees will officially open their new Stadium on Thursday, and I'd love to go, but I can't, for two reasons. First (and most importantly) I have classes to teach. Second, I don't have a ticket, and at this point, I can't afford one. There are still tickets to be had from the official Ticketmaster website. Face value......$2625.00!!! Obviously not an option. And I've seen nothing on StubHub (MLB's official ticket resale site) for less than $225. I'll just have to record the game, and watch it when I get home from work. At least the weather should cooperate for the opener, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 60's. A nice day for baseball. In fact, any day they can play is a nice day for baseball.
