I don’t think I have ever been so excited for the start of a major league baseball season. For the first time in years, there is optimism that the Miami Marlins could be better than advertised. Being a fan of the team since its inception, I feel like a kid at Christmas.
As I have told many of my friends at this time every year, Opening Day should be a national holiday.
These Marlins, a healthy mix of youth and experience, will depend on the great unknown of the pitching staff, and a lineup that lacks a true power hitter.
