At Yankees Opening Day, baseball remains life

Opening Day can be many things, especially for a Yankees fan.

It’s an item at the top of the baseball bucket list. Some may call it baseball’s Woodstock. For us New Yorkers, it is practically a rite of passage.

Because, to paraphrase the amazing Dani Rojas, baseball is life in the Big Apple. Whether you like the Yankees or Mets, the city’s energy just changes when baseball season begins. Everyone’s in a good mood and not as rough around the edges.

So as my wife Caitlin and I waited for the D train at 125th Street, our collective anticipation mounted.
