3. Last Word: Opening Day, Slowing the Flow and 30 Years of Shangri-La - Friday, March 30, 2018

There is something about opening day of the Major League Baseball season – especially when it is opening day for just about every team at the same time.

I don’t really pay attention to players – don’t know any of their names. And how and when did the Astros wind up in the American League and the Brewers in the National League? I just like watching the game in a sport where the team and the individual coexist as in no other sport.
