On April 2 this year, I was supposed to do the same thing I’ve done for most of my life. Then the coronavirus happened, fans were not allowed into stands, and my plans shifted. In my household, and I imagine many Cards fans’ households, we view Opening Day as a national holiday. And like all national holidays, we have developed traditions that we more or less stick to every year that we can.
One of those traditions is that I attend Opening Day with my mom. Until writing this, I never considered that this is a bit strange.
