There is nothing like Major League Baseball’s Opening Day. It’s like Christmas morning, with the anticipation of a brand new baseball season mirroring the excitement of finding a gift under the tree. A wrapped present represents endless possibilities, much like the start of a new baseball season offers countless outcomes that have yet to be determined.
Every fan believes that their team has what it takes to go all the way—predictions and expectations be damned. Stadiums across the country are adorned in red, white, and blue awnings to welcome sold-out crowds. There are new concessions to eat, new team apparel to buy, new in-game entertainment to enjoy, and new players to cheer on.
