Opening Day is almost here. Well, technically the season has already began with the Red Sox/A's games in Japan earlier this week. However, the traditional opening day is just a few days away on Monday. Most people would agree that Cincinnati should be where the first game is played each season because of their tradition. The Reds open at home on Monday against the Diamondbacks. The city piratically shuts down every Opening Day as kids and adults skip school and work for the day. Opening Day is an unofficial holiday in the City of Cincinnati kicking off with the Findlay Market Opening Day parade through the streets of the city. Events are abound and excitement can be seen all around Cincinnati for the Reds. Tickets to this game are the most sought after each year.
There are several exciting events this weekend. The Boston Red Sox take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at the LA Coliseum on Saturday. The Dodgers are expecting a crowd of nearly 115,000 fans for this game. See the articles on our homepage about the game. This will be a great game to see since many were not born when the Dodgers last played at the Coliseum over 40 years ago.
The Washington Nationals open their new ballpark this weekend as they play the Baltimore Orioles in an exhibition game on Saturday. This will be a test run for the ballpark as the Nationals open the season with the first ever game at Nationals Park on Sunday night against the Atlanta Braves. Check out the ballpark on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball at 8:00pm EST.
