Predictions from MVB

It's finally here, the moment we all (or I) have been waiting for. The day when every team (well except for the Atlanta Braves b/c of last night) is in first place! It's Opening Day across America today which means the start of the Major League Baseball season.

I am heading to the game tonight in Minneapolis to see the Twins take the field and watch Hunter stroll out to centerfield, but wearing a different cap. I'm curious to see if there will be more cheers or boos for Hunter, I'm guessing cheers. Expect a Opening Day post later this week recapping the entire event.
