MLB Opening Day!

OREO Baseball Dessert

April 5th marked opening day for the MLB and every fan has hopes for their team to make it all the way to the World Series. Already some record breaking games, The Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Indians started off 2012 playing the longest opening day game in MLB history, the Blue Jays won the 16-inning game 7-4. The Miami Marlins were defeated in Miami by the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1. There has been a lot of hype about the Marlins as they recently built a spectacular new stadium. There was plenty of theatrics with fireworks and a Muhammad Ali appearance, but the Cardinals were not intimidated. Click here for some great pictures from opening day. The MLB has posted some important dates on their website to check out as well.
