Today is Opening Day.

No, not for the Reds.  That is still more than six weeks away.  But today is Opening Day for the 2013 college baseball season. 

I know we all can't wait to watch the Reds this season, and those spring and summer nights at GABP can't come soon enough, but before a pitch is thrown at Great American this season, the UC Bearcats will have played 12 home games at Marge Schott Stadium (where they serve beer!), and Xavier, while on the road for most of the first month and a half of the season, does have two home games at Hayden Field before the Reds player their opener, and the Musketeers do spend most of the season's final six weeks playing at home.  NKU will play five games at the Bill Aker Baseball Complex prior to April 1st, so will Miami, at McKie Field at Hayden Park, and both schools have plenty of home games in the season's final month and a half.

(And if you want to make the drive to Lexington, UK's baseball team is nationally ranked)

College baseball is among the best bargains in the area.  Schools either charge no admission, or if they do, the price of a ticket is pretty small.  (UC charges $5 for adults, and $3 for kids.  Also, beer!)  College games are played quickly, often in about two hours, and there are plenty of players from area high schools on the rosters of our local college teams.  If you have kids, a college baseball game, with its intimacy and affordability, is the best way to introduce them to the sport.

The Bearcats, Muskies, Norse, and Redhawks all open their seasons today.  When they return home, hopefully to warmer weather, to play in a couple of weeks, support them.

Now, for today's rundown....
