Monday, April 05, 2010 marks the home opener for the Milwaukee Brewers!

Here in Milwaukee the sounds and smells of spring have been in the air for a couple of weeks now, and along with that for many Brewers fans are the eager anticipations of the upcoming MLB baseball season and the Milwaukee Brewers.

For me those sounds will revitalize the somber emotions that were felt during this past winter, when in my travels during the off-season Miller Park’s cold, lifeless silhouette only offered memories of the thousands of Brewers fans cheering, the children laughing, and the endless aromas of food grilling in the parking lot…  But the wait is soon to be a part of history too as the Milwaukee Brewers will be wrapping-up their spring training later this week and the official season comes to a head.

Just what the 2010 season holds for Prince Fielder is anyone’s guess, but if he pounds out those home runs like last season we’re in for a good one!

And I think its worthy to note that no matter if the Brewers win or loose, the sport of baseball provides a sort of entertainment that defies simple explanation or expression.  Baseball is simply a sport that  has always been a tradition that is deeply ingrained in the historical roots of America and its people, and whether your team wins or loses, simply being a part of the game for the sport of the game and the entertainment it offers is what matters…

More Brewers announcements are soon to come!

Invariably, the name “Shaun White” rings with public adoration and iconic stature in the world of snowboarding; not to mention his gracious accomplishment in winning the gold medal in the men’s halfpipe competition at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.  The high-flying American defended his halfpipe title with a jaw-dropping sequence of flips and somersaults when he punctuated his night with his signature trick, the “Double McTwist 1260.”

But amidst all the glory and flashing cameras in the news conference following his winning run, Shaun White passionately impressed his desire to meet President Obama.  “I don’t think we’ve had the honor to meet the President of the United States,” White said.

Shaun White subsequently appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show on February 19, 2010 and reaffirmed his passionate desire to meet with President Obama. “It seems like you win the gold for the U.S., you should meet the president,” he says. “That would be cool.”

But despite his numerous public acclimation’s to the President, there has yet to be any word as to whether President Obama has an interest in honoring this young Olympic hero’s request.

Mr. Obama, Shaun White Will See You Now!

Granted, both the President Obama and Shaun White have very busy schedules, but one would certainly think that under the circumstances a personal visit could be reasonably easy to schedule?   And as for his request to sit down for a formal dinner, well, why not? Now of course the issue of security falls into play, but I believe that Shaun White certainly poses no security risk to anyone, let alone the President of the United States…  But Shaun White certainly has raised a very relevant issue in his statement to Oprah, “It seems like you win the gold for the U.S., you should meet the president.”

It only begs the question as to why there currently isn’t a  White House/Presidential policy in place to honor our U.S Olympic athletes?  We know that it cannot be for the reason that they don’t deserve a Presidential visit or tour of the White House followed by a one-on-one meeting, right?

Nevertheless, I believe that Shaun White earned his visit with President Obama and that necessary steps need to be taken to honor this simple, yet complicating endeavor.
