I put in for leave the day the schedule was announced last Fall. My boss already knows that OD is a religious holiday in the Church of Baseball, and knows that if I don't get my religious leave approved, I'll come down with a severe case of Red Seam Fever that day. I'll get there early and spend all day soaking it up - haven't missed an OD yet.
The first sip of the first beer of the first day of the season - ahhhhhhhh.
