We're Born Again, There's New Grass On The Field

Opening Day.
All the sins of last season are washed away.
New opportunities for greatness shine like a freshly chalked first base line.
Pedro's toe, Delgado's shoulder and Beltran's bat.
Opening day at Shea stadium is like being born again. Every Met fan has the September mantra burned into thier souls. Maybe next year...
Well this is next year. This is the year we have been waiting for since Oct. 1986.
This is the team.
This is the year.
Opening Day 2006.

"Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye"

Play Ball.
