Tag Archives: opening day

Given the circumstances, it still doesn’t feel like a true Opening Day. In fact, this was the first Opening Day morning that I forgot to put on Giants socks, underwear, shirt, jersey, and hat. I put on regular clothes and walked around like some normie. But how can you have a meaningful Game 1 without fans in the seats? What about the jet flyovers and the giant American flag? With no fans, the smell of hot dogs and garlic fries won’t float over the field either. Other than fresh cut grass, it will lack the sights, sounds, and scents of baseball. It’s baseball in a sterile environment (which I guess is a good thing).
