I was pretty excited walking up today realizing that I get to watch real, live baseball in front of some fans. 

Due to distance (or the team starting the season on the road when I was in the area), I have only made it to two OD games, 2016 and 2017... but both of those were walk-off wins.

I can't remember the year but watching the outfielders trying to catch fly balls in the snow on opening day.  It was a cold April afternoon.

Pretty sure I went to that game.    Late 90’s early 00’s I think.   Jerry Hairston era? 

Pause...my memory is good!   2003, and it ended on a Gary Matthews walk-off hit in the 13th.

The O’s have had several Opening Day walk-offs, and those probably top my list.   In recent years there was the Wieters walk-off single in ‘16 (which I attended) and Trumbo’s homer in ‘17, in addition to the snow game mentioned above.    
 

The first game at OPACY certainly ranks up there.

Supposed to rain all day

Weather app says it's going to drizzle for a little this morning and stop at around 11 am. Either way, it's gonna be a cold one.

The game specifically that I think off is OD at Camden Yards and Rick Sutcliffe.

But more generally, I remember my mom would always come pick me up from school early so I could watch the game.  I've continued that tradition with my own kids.  Will be leaving work today and picking up my kids around 1PM for a "family activity".

My son told his teacher that he wasn’t feeling well because he had baseball fever for the last opening day with fans ?

Jones walk off HR in 18.

Funny, I thought I had remembered we had three in a row, but I really couldn’t remember the third one at all.   I guess I’ve done my best to just block 2018 out of my mind entirely.    What a miserable experience that was.
