Changing weather means spring is coming. Spring means lots of things, and among them is the beginning of baseball season! As an avid Braves fan, and in honor of opening day, I am dedicating this post to the optimistic view that I am taking on this season-- or at least, hoping that they make it through their first game against the Phillies.
The opening day fever has definitely hit the UGA campus, everyone sporting their jerseys and t-shirts showing their support as well as taking in some of the new found sun rays. It is interesting to think about the connection that I feel with all of these strangers who simply have a similar interest to me-- one that is not uncommon at all, yet when I see them around I instantly have a kindred spirit with them.
This entire idea simply reinforces the connections that we create through social media. This blog post, for instance, would potentially show up when people Google the Braves, America or if they are looking for a pastime- it may not satisfy their need, but they are instantly connected to me. It is really amazing how the internet is now fostering these relationships and helping people create connections that never would have existed before.
In conclusion, any one who is rooting for the Braves tonight (and always) is a welcome connection for me- Go Braves!
