Today Is 2022 MLB Opening Day

[Greg Ambrosius]

We are going to stay extremely positive on these Message Boards this off-season and start the countdown to 2022 MLB Opening Day on Thursday, March 31st. On that day, we are expecting 15 MLB games to be played throughout that glorious day and I sure as hell expect to be in the Aria Sportsbook in Las Vegas with Tom, Darik, Mike and other NFBC players betting ON EVERY SINGLE GAME!!!

I love Opening Day and I especially love to watch 15 Opening Days on the same day. So whatever it takes, the owners and players better get a new CBA signed soon and start spring training and the regular season on time. We're all counting on it.

With that being said, I will start a new countdown thread to MLB Opening Day once we get to 99 days down, but I couldn't hold back today on my enthusiasm for the upcoming season, so I jumped the gun and started this thread with 127 days to go. I'll update every day from 99 to 0 with some images of past MLB greats and today's MLB greats. Enjoy.

Until we get to Day 99, I'll leave the big and powerful Aaron Judge up here to lead the way!!! Enjoy and be ready for the countdown to really start in 28 days.
