Japan Opener:

John McGrath of KnoxNews.com doesn't like this idea:


Opening Day is a distinctly American ritual that celebrates the concept that all teams are created equal - well, in the standings, anyway. Opening Day is when the celebrities in the stands might be a mayor or congressman, not some yawning star of a Fox Network sitcom.

I tend to agree with this. It was nice once to have opening day in Japan. But I've always thought of opening day as a national holiday. McGrath is on the right track here.
