"It's 0-0." "Who's winning?"
Happy Opening Day to all!The 2010 baseball season began today in earnest. A mid-day rally was held at Kiener Plaza in St. Louis, the Cardinals hosted the San Diego Padres, eventually losing in the 11th, and the great Mike Shannon began his 40th season as radio voice of the team. I had to work all day in Des Moines, but I marked the occasion by taking a resin bag into the office to keep in my cubicle.
To help celebrate this national holiday, here's the link to a February piece from the statistical analysis website, baseballprospectus.com. It investigates and reveals just which Wrigley Field ballgame it was in 1985 that Ferris Bueller attended during his infamous day of truancy from Shermer High School a quarter century ago. In related news, the website, sausageprospectus.com, has determined that Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago, was playing pinochle with his cronies at the Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton when he missed his lunch reservation at Chez Quis earlier that day.
