OAKLAND, Calif. -- Major League Baseball is officially back.
The A's and Mariners opened the regular season Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately, that translated to 2:30 a.m. in California, but it didn't stop dozens of A's fans of all ages from cheering on their team at the official watch party at Mad Oak Bar 'n' Yard in Oakland.
I decided if I couldn't be in Japan for the game, then this was the next best thing. Here's my timeline of a wild night/morning.
2:00 a.m.
It's probably my first time ever walking into a bar at two in the morning, rather than leaving.
