It's almost time to play ball! The 2025 Major League Baseball season kicks off later this month. The season technically begins with the MLB in Tokyo series on Tuesday, Mar. 18. But Opening Day won't be until Mar. 27, where nearly every MLB team will play (the Rockies-Rays matchup has been pushed back a day). Are you ready to tune in?
