Working today? Please! There’s something a bit more important happening.
All 30 teams are in action as Major League Baseball celebrates Opening Day!
Too soon? Well, in case you’re wondering — yes, this is (sort of, but not technically) the earliest Opening Day ever. (Seattle and Oakland played a pair of games in Tokyo last week.) This season is especially exciting because it will mark the first time since 1968 that all teams begin play (in the U.S.) on the same day — March 28.
Remember, it’s not springtime until Major League Baseball says it’s springtime. Today is your day!
