None of us will get the chance to pack our favorite ballparks this Thursday -- MLB's scheduled Opening Day festivities have all been bumped, of course, and we're all currently crossing our fingers regarding whatever comes next.
But for now, the league has a solution that'll still make March 26 feel special.
Major League Baseball will be utilizing all the media channels it has control of in an effort to launch "Opening Day at Home," an immersive media event that'll make you feel like you're engrossed in something special with baseball fans across the globe. They'll be showing classic games all day, ranging from memorable openers to World Series showdowns, and there's something for every fanbase.

MLB Network's slate includes four classic Opening Day games (and if you haven't been enjoying their excellent slate of classic contests already, we highly recommend it), while FS1 will show some World Series gems and Home Run Derby battles.
And yes, there's plenty more available on YouTube.
MLB is staging "Opening Day At Home" -- 30 games airing across platforms tomorrow. The Brewers are up first at 7:30 a.m. CT with Game 1 of the 2018 NLDS. Watch with me on https://t.co/RRVS3dMiA4 and MLB's YouTube channel.

So no, we won't all be gathering this week for the first big day on the baseball calendar. But this should be a pretty effective way to still feel locked in -- after all, baseball remains timeless.
