To me it was baseball and opening day is like New Years Eve to me. Now that I work for myself I no longer have to do that, but I wouldn't think of missing opening day, especially since I live across the river from Cincinnati which is the best place in the country for opening day.

If you've never been to Cincinnati for one, you absolutely must. The parade is something special to see and the city entirely shuts down. The festive atmosphere is like no other baseball-related event in any league.

When my tickets arrived in the mail last week, I got a feeling like I was a kid again. This year I get to take my fiancee to the parade and game, a tradition I hope to continue as long as we live. The extra bonus is she is a die-hard Angels fan and that just so happens to be who the Reds are playing that day. It's inter-league, but just the same, it's baseball!

MLB really screwed up when they took the first pitch out of Cincinnati. This city sure knows how to embrace the game. Japan? Puerto Rico? Cincinnati is where it should begin, every year.
Ive always heard such great things about the Opening Day festivities in Cincy. As a lifelong Reds fan its been near the top of my things to do list. That's why I am so happy to say my wife and I are going this year! We will be there from the beginning of the parade until the final pitch taking it all in!

Living in the N.Y./N.J. area, ticket prices have gone through the roof on opening day, if you can get them. For the last few years, I've order extra innings so I can see any game I choose. With all the injuries, it could be a rough year for the New York teams. What best about opening day is before the first pitch is thrown on Sunday night, all teams are in first place. To all the fans on net54, enjoy the baseball season.

I think that opening day should be a national holiday

+1 Especially since it's the national pastime.

I go to the Pirates home opener each year. I get at least one hot dog at the game. I accidentally ate three this year.

That's a gorgeous ballpark.. and I'm sure made even better by the dogs. I really want to get out there sometime, maybe for an SF series (you guys took it to us last year!).

Last night Opening Day finally arrived in Seattle.

The giant scoreboard was unveiled. Surprisingly, it wasn't distracting - actually kind of cool.

We also had a drunk run across the field and meet with the customary treatment.

Coolest of all - successful suicide squeeze by the Mariners. Perfectly executed.
