For the record the first game of the season should always be Cincinnati (preferably in Cincinnati).

I truly understand that the game can't rely on stale old traditions and opening in other places is a nice way to inspire some early enthusiasm.

I don't know for sure why baseball didn't take the opportunity of the 150th year of the Red Stockings to at least make an attempt in their brain-addled 20-somethings front office to make accommodations for that. Cincy plans to make a season-long event of it.

Of course this is the 100th year of the Black Sox 1919 team, so there's that as well.

And the 100 year anniversary of the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth.

Good times! :)

They can keep the tradition of opening in Cincinnati and still have two other teams play in Uganda or wherever.

The Reds are the oldest team in any of the major sports leagues. Their having the 1st game of the baseball season makes sense to me.
