So this would seem like the most odd of songs to have on, much less title, but it is in deference to my eldest, Dodge, on his birthday.
Eleven years ago you arrived on a day I am not sure we were prepared for your arrival. However, there you were. For those not familiar Enter Sandman was also the entrance music for the last man to wear 42 in the Major Leagues, Mariano Rivera. While Dodge does not see himself as a reliever/closer, he has handled the job pretty well. He earned the name April 13, 2013 when he took on the opposing Cedar Hill Cardinals. Twelve batters came up and twelve went back to the bench all on strikeouts.
In any case, Happy Birthday young man. I fear for the pitchers you will face down as a batter and I fear the hitters who will face you when you are on the mound. Go get 'em.
Love,
Your Biggest Fan
PS If you don't realize it, the picture is your first Opening Day game. You and I and the Orioles in 2004 before we moved to Texas.
