It’s Opening Day!
For upwards of 13 hours, televised baseball will be available for your consumption on Monday. Four playoff teams from a year ago will appear on ESPN and ESPN2, and MLB Network will provide highlights and in-game updates for all 13 contests.
Fans will not only be in for a constant stream of baseball from the early afternoon to the early morning, but also will have the opportunity to watch some of the best hurlers in the game. From Justin Verlander and Stephen Strasburg early in the day to Madison Bumgarner and Felix Hernandez later on, aces will be all over the place on the final day of March.
