Katherine and I went to Opening Day yesterday at the Ballpark in Arlington. It was warm (86º) and sunny. The Texas Rangers fell behind early but fought back to beat the Seattle Mariners, 3-2. Felix Hernandez (0-1) gave up only one hit in six innings, but he walked five batters and gave up three runs (only one of them earned). The festivities included a large Texas flag on the "grassy knoll," a large United States flag on the field, a moving rendition of "God Bless America," and a military flyover that left me misty-eyed. The garlic fries hit the spot.
