Am I just having selective memory, or when did this change?
What am I missing here?

we had been for quite a while. i seem to recall it changing about 10 years ago, when ESPN started showing more games (in fact, might have been their Sunday Night game which changed the tradition).
Sadly, it changed years ago - how long? I don't know...

It's only an AL game..not real baseball
Go Gators!
Would it be the same time that the REDS/the city did away with the Opening Day parade etc. I was reading how traditionally it was the REDS who started Opening Day an the city would have a parade which ended at the grounds.
They still have a parade. I refuse to watch the Sunday night game before Reds opening day generally, but I may have to deviate this year, since the White Sox are in it, and Alfred is a White Sox fan.
We'll flip back and forth between the LSU women's hoops and the White Sox.

I know that at least for the last two years, the reigning World champs opened a day before, because the Red Sox played the Yankees in New York last year on Sunday night. I don't know how long this has been the case.
I've been waiting all day for the White Sox game and it's not on network TV. Boooooo.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Yeah, all we get now is a home opener. Was Cincy the first to do the Sunday opener for ESPN?
We covered this partly last year too.

The Reds had it by default for the NL teams for years, when the league offices were merged so went the tradition of the Reds opening at home first in the NL (at least)
Actually, Opening Day has not been the traditional opener for some time now. It was until about 20 years ago, give or take a few years. I remember Detroit wouild kinda sneak in there every once in a while. I think the first ESPN Sunday night game was the Reds. Marge did not care for that game being on a Sunday night, it was also Easter Sunday, because it took away the Opening Day festivities, which actually happened the next day. So there was no bunting or pomp for that game. Ever since then the Reds have not been the traditional opener. They have been the traditional NL opener more often than not but the actual traditional MLB opener is a thing of the past.
It's on ESPN.Originally Posted by vaticanplum

Is network TV the main four (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX)?
