It’s taken quite a while, but MLB had it’s Opening Day on Thursday. With the ongoing worries about COVID-19, this one is a bit different, but normal Opening Days are seen as a time of hope. We’re getting closer towards summer. Every team starts with the same record and all theoretically have a chance at the World Series.
One of the biggest distinctions you can have is to be a team’s Opening Day starting pitcher. Unless there’s an injury of some sort, they are the guy is a team has designated as their ace. That pitcher is the one they’re sending out to try and put their best foot forward for that season.
