Fans in the Stands at CBP?

Philadelphia Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said today it's likely there will be fans in the stands for the Phillies Home Opener on April 1, but the number will depend on what the state allows. It will also depend on the number of COVID cases dropping. 

This is great news all around. The Phils will make some money, baseball games will seem like baseball games again, and I'll have a chance to resume my streak.

For those of you who don't know me, Opening Day is my personal religious holiday. I've been to every Phillies Home Opener since 1980. I even went last year (as pictured above with my son), even though we couldn't get into the ballpark. My son, who just turned 25, has been at every Home Opener with me since 2001. It's by far my favorite day of the year. 

There's no way to know how many tickets will be available and who can get them. But if someone with an office at Citizens Bank Park is reading this, I'd be eternally grateful if you could hook me with a pair of tickets to keep the streak alive.
