Baseball Almanac supports the plan for making Opening Day a national holiday to avoid the problem seen in this wonderful Wilson Sports Equipment advertisement below. Join our efforts to help make it Opening Day a holiday!

"Opening Day is warmly regarded in North American tradition as the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. It falls annually around the beginning of April, signaling such a generational feeling of rebirth for some that the writer Thomas Boswell once penned a book titled, Why Time Begins On Opening Day. Many feel that the occasion represents a newness, in that the 30 major league clubs and their millions of fans begin with 0-0 records." - Wikipedia.com
