I've never been to opening day. Is the vibe worth paying the extra ticket price for?
My last opening day was 2004, which was the greatest opening day game the Royals have played, or will ever play.
Mendy Lopez game tying 3 run homer in the 9th followed shortly by a Carlos Beltran walk off home run later in the inning.
The funniest part is we saw Matt Stairs in the on-deck circle and thought he was going to pinch hit and we were all excited and then Mendy Lopez walked up to the plate to pinch hit instead and we were like 'wtf'. He had 5 career home runs up to that point and the one he hit that day was the last of his career. What a game.
