As previously mentioned, I’m more of a traditionalist than not with the understanding that some things have to change to remain relevant and not get passed by. And, as with everything else in the world, I realize that money drives everything. However, is moving the greatest day in Spring, that being opening day of course, that can be shared by baseball fans throughout the country to a single ‘opening game’ on Sunday night really necessary? ESPN already runs the sports world, would it hurt for them to carry games on Monday and get the buzz that is happening all around the sport in stadiums everywhere and to miss out on one Sunday night game? Baseball should start in Cincinnati like it did for years. The parade, all the pomp and circumstance to kick off the new season. Instead, the baseball world has to watch one game the night before and not get to enjoy the experience of actually being at opening day. Sure the teams have their own ceremonies the following day and everyone has a great time but now it is the second day of the season. The Yankees and Red Sox are going to draw plenty attention throughout the rest of the season, let’s let the other 28 teams enjoy one of the few things some teams have to celebrate for the entire season.
