Baseball is back.

My dad has been gone for 3 years and this is the 3rd opening day I have spent without him. My dad wasn't the biggest sports fan but he flat out loved his Atlanta Braves. It was something me and him bonded over. We would talk Braves all the time. The last trip me and him took together was a trip to Atlanta for a Braves playoff game. We had been to countless games and never gotten a ball. On this day we were in different parts of the park before the game and BJ Upton threw me a ball and Justin Upton threw my dad a ball.

I had a dream not long after he passed and my dad was there to see me. He said that he was the one that was sent to tell me it was beautiful where he and my mom were. The only thing I could ask was can you watch the Braves games and he said that if wants to know about the games he can find out. No doubt he his grinning from ear to ear over Ronald Acuna.

Go Braves!

Great opening day for my Dodgers! Magic number is down to 161 and we are on pace to hit 1296 HR's as a team this season!
