The preliminary baseball schedule has the Yankees home opener (at Yankee Stadium III) scheduled for April 16th (a Thursday?). The Yankees opponent has not been named, but the game will take place on the wrong side of 161st street, with still awful parking, in still a lousy neighborhood, and just minutes from where Babe Ruth played.
The Mets opener is scheduled for April 14th. Maybe both teams open on the road in case their are construction delays? Will both teams be home the first weekend? The Mets open in Cincy, then Miami.
I’ll bet there are full price exhibition games (that I will get suckered into) before the season.
Someone tell Tom Seaver not to plant any vineyards that will need attending in early to mid April.
