WHEN I WAS A KID, MY PARENTS SET OUT TO TAKE MY BROTHER AND I ON A STADIUM TRIP EVERY SUMMER, WITH THE GOAL BEING TO SEE EVERY MLB STADIUM BEFORE I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.

IN 1995, AT EIGHT YEARS OLD, I ATTENDED A GAME DURING THE INAUGURAL SEASON AT COORS FIELD.

THAT WEEKEND INCLUDED NOT GETTING DANTE BICHETTE’S AUTOGRAPH, SEEING BRETT SABERHAGEN ON BLAKE STREET, AND EXPERIENCING THE EXTREME MILE HIGH SUMMER HEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN YOU MIGHT BE ASKING? WELL, OPENING DAY IS THIS FRIDAY AND WE ARE CELEBRATING WITH A SPECIAL T-SHIRT RELEASE. STAY TUNED…
