I believe the tradition has been that the thread starts on Opening Day. And, being the Traditionalist I am, I would still call that Monday, not Sunday night when ESPN does their own false start.

I agree with you. I would deem April 5 to be Opening Day and April 4 to be Opening Night, but MLB officially disagrees.

=======================================

MLB Important Dates | MLB.com: Schedule

April 4, 2010

• Opening Day
• Active player limit reduced to 25 players.

I understand, but MLB also came up with the designated hitter. So, just because they are correct doesn't make it right.

Phrasemaker.

I think you mean, "just because they are correct doesn't make it good."

Yea, you're right. That phrase makes me feel as warm and fuzzy as early-morning tacos.
