Hello again, baseball fans. This game has been very good to me, really. I was named after a famous baseball pitcher. Can anyone guess? Also, my brother George was named after???
Anyway, by the time I was 10, I had attended more professional @MLB games and met more MVPs than I could ever remember.
You see, my late father AJSoto II was a real fan of the game known as Major League Baseball ⚾️ and so was the rest of the family.
The 2019 Major League Baseball season begins today, with fond memories of my youth, while 30 teams take to the diamond. While the Mariners and Athletics have played two official games in Asia, this day marks the earliest opening day, excluding international openers ever in the history of the game.
The headline news is Superstar Bryce Harper for The Phillies, and playing against The Braves in Philadelphia. In Washington, the Mets’ Jacob deGrom and Nationals’ Max Scherzer face off, just the second time (1974) that consecutive Cy Young winners have pitched against each during any opening day.
