Major League Baseball streaming classic games all day to fill ‘Opening Day’ hole
Sad that Thursday was supposed to be Opening Day for Major League Baseball and there is no baseball?
MLB has the next best thing for you.
It’s called “Opening Day at Home” with 30 classic games streaming on different platforms. Starting at 8:30 a.m., there was to be one game broadcast for each MLB club. And that one game will be a victory by that club.
Games are streamed on MLB.com, plus the MLB’s social media channels — Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Fans are encouraged to use the hashtag #OpeningDayAtHome to connect with each other throughout the day.
For Reds fans, MLB will stream the Reds-Pirates season opener from 2019 when Luis Castillo struck out nine and Derek Dietrich hit a pinch-hit three-run homer in a win over the Pirates.
As an added attraction, the MLB Network will show classic Opening Day games, starting at 1 p.m. And ESPN2 will re-broadcast a Home Run Derby marathon starting at 6 p.m.
