Opening Day of the baseball season means many things to many people. It’s a fresh start. It means sun and green grass and warmer weather. For me it means the Brewers and Bob Uecker, who has been a staple of my life since I first learned baseball existed. Opening Day represents the hope that, right now, anything is possible.
