At the beginning of spring training, I mentioned the analogy I originated last year that spring training is baseball's version of Lent. Which makes Opening Day baseball's version of Easter. Opening Day definitely is a holiday to millions of baseball fans around the world. I'm not sure any other sport's opener quite compares. Many (at least if you believe the coverage it gets) love the opening of football season, I guess, but it doesn't seem to have the hope, the excitement of the first "play ball!"
