Lynne Sladky/APCharlie Hough was 45 years old when he threw the first pitch for the Florida Marlins.Eighteen years ago today, I took a day off from grad school classes to stay in my Woodley Park apartment in D.C. and watch the Dodgers' first game of the 1993 season, a game that also happened to be the Florida Marlins' first game ever. Charlie Hough, a Dodger when I first became a fan nearly 20 years before, pitched the Marlins to a 6-3 victory over Los Angeles and Orel Hershiser.It feels like a lifetime ago. Living out of California for the last time, writing my first screenplay, no job, no kids, no girl (though I fancied one). Twenty-five years old and no idea what was to come.I can still feel the sun coming into my barely furnished apartment, the living room wide enough to swing
Opening Day, 1993
