61 Days to Opening Day

April 5, 2007 is Opening Day for the Timber Rattlers at Fox Cities Stadium. That is just 61 days away.

The number 61 is represented by about the person you would think:
Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961. And how did he feel about that?
"I never wanted all this hoopla. All I wanted is to be a good ball player and hit twenty-five or thirty homers, drive in a hundred runs, hit .280 and help my club win pennants. I just wanted to be one of the guys, an average player having a good season."

No, really. How did he feel about that?
"It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had not hit those sixty-one home runs."

Okay. I won't ask again.
