Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Don’t look now, but the 2025 MLB regular season starts today. Snuck up on you, didn’t it?
OK, so we’re still more than a week away from the Orioles — and 27 other teams — opening their seasons. For the Dodgers and Cubs, though, it’s game on. The two clubs are in Japan for the two-game Tokyo Series, the first games of 2025 that will count in the standings.
If the raucous, deafening atmosphere at the Tokyo Dome doesn’t get you excited about baseball’s return, nothing will. It’s a homecoming for the five Japanese stars who will be representing their MLB teams, led by Shohei Ohtani and the defending champion Dodgers.
