It's that time again! I can taste the Chicago style hot dogs and Old Style beer already! Baseball season is approaching a tad early this year!Major League Baseball's schedule for the 2011 season will eliminate the need for the World Series to be played in November, but it could create havoc in the spring.
The season, which features the
Chicago Cubs playing at Fenway Park for the first time since the 1918 World Series, will start on Thursday, March 31, four days earlier than the traditional Monday opener. Only four seasons have begun earlier, and it will mark the first time since 1976 that opening day will be on a Thursday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau
Teams were given the option of starting on Thursday or Friday, according to MLB senior vice president Katy Feeney, and five teams opted to start a day earlier, leaving an open-day on Friday in case there's a postponement. The regular season is scheduled to end on Wednesday, Sept. 28, with the postseason opening three days later. The World Series is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Oct. 19, a week earlier than the past two years, with Game 7 on Oct. 27.
