Lots of Mets fans cleverly disguised as empty seats.

Looked full to me.

You can take the girl out of Baltimore...

but she'll still be an O's fan if she grew up there during the days of Cal Ripken Jr.

Why the hell is opening day today instead of Monday?

Behind home plate there were quite a few empty seats
Or a late-arriving crowd.

More off days means an earlier start to the season. I guess if they had 4 more, it would have been last monday.

Those are the corporate as-sholes. Ignore them.

I have the same question. Twins have their home opener next week on a GD thursday as well.

Ironically, weather would’ve been much better this week them next for the Twins.

Never understood why Opening Day isn't on a Saturday.

I can’t remember Opening Day ever being on a weekend.

But I do remember the Reds always having the honor of being the first game.

Reds and Senators.

Reds and Senators.

Interestingly, the twins and Red Sox had a tradition of being the first spring training game. Maybe they still do.

Senators.

Speaking of, is the Fat F-ck going to throw out the Nats' first ball? I doubt he can get it past the mound.

I had no idea of this at all! Is there a story behind it or did it just kinda happen? Did it go back to the Senators? Did they share a facility the way the Mets and Cardinals used to?

I have absolutely no idea the history behind it. I'm guessing it had something to do with the proximity of their Spring Training HQs.

And a quick google search seems to indicate this is no longer the case and hasn't been for some time. Maybe it was just apocryphal.

Senators I & II, the first ball thrower thru from the box seats.
