I went to Sunday's opener with "Mrs. October" and took this photo of her during the pregame ceremony. Four women were seated just behind us during the game, but I was astounded, when I later looked at my photos, to see just how many women had been sitting around us. Mrs. October, a lifelong fan now 94, once told me that the biggest change she had seen over the years in baseball was the increase in women fans. When she was young and going to games, there were few other women in the stands.
