For the first time since 1996 I attended Major League Baseball\u2019s Opening Day which was also at Wrigley Field. It was also the first regular season game I have attended in March. <\/p>\n
The start of the game was delayed for about 40 minutes. During the delay I sold my parking spot for $60 \u2013 making up for the $60 I paid in Los Angeles Saturday night.<\/p>\n
I was hoping to see a 0-0 extra inning game when Milwaukee scored three runs in the top of the 9th. But in the bottom of the 9th inning, the crowd was ecstatic after Fukudome hit a 3-run home run to tie the game and send it to extra innings. In the end, the excitement was for not as the Cubs lost 4-3 in 10 innings.<\/p>\n
Also of note was that Ben Sheets, the Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher, batted 8th. It was the first time in Milwaukee\u2019s history that a pitcher batted other than 9th in the batting order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
