One of my favorite days of the year.  It has meant so much to hang out with my dad, been ditching school/work since 2nd grade.  All who love as much as me enjoy and be safe! Go Tribe!

My opening day memories...Gomer Hodge in the ninth against Boston (and then the next day)...Frank Robinson's homer....Gaylor Perry and 74,000 fans....19 innings (yes we stayed) in the freezing cold against Boston (would have been nicer if the Tribe won).

If your glad to see Opening Day for baseball..... you will love this show that aired on WOSU'Radio's "All Sides" Show.  The interview with professional baseball's official historian has some great baseball stories....and a lot of stuff you didn't know about baseball history in Ohio.

 

Opening Day

 

Do you know where baseball signals and the ballpark hot dog originated? You may be surprised to know they both got their start here in Columbus. Today, we celebrate Opening Day for the Columbus Clippers and all of Major League Baseball with a conversation about baseball history with the Director of Communications for the Clippers, who’s also a noted authority on baseball history. Join guest host Stu Nicholson for a conversation about baseball.

 

Guest: Joe Santry (Director, Media and Community Relations, Columbus Clippers)
