It’s hard to remember as entertaining an Opening Day game at Fenway in recent memory as what we witnessed Friday afternoon. It’s like everything aligned as well as it could have. Trust me, I’ve been at Opening Days wearing a Canada Goose, praying to god for the Dunks hot chocolate guy to make his rounds and don’t some serious contemplation on if I needed chowdah to keep myself sane. The Boston Red Sox took on the St. Louis Cardinals on a GORGEOUS 65 degree day in Boston. As perfect baseball weather as you can imagine

Play of the Game

Going back to back in the first inning back at home has to absolutely be the hypest feeling in the ballpark. OB’s call of Story’s smash? Immaculate.
