What is the actual start date of the Major League Baseball season?

You shouldn't allow the knowledge of a paid sports journalist to sway your decision, but Drew Sharp has this to say: "Memorial Day is the actual starting point of the baseball season. Everyone's paying more attention now. It's when clubs get serious."

whoever Drew Sharp is, eff him. Is he speaking of the same "people" who leave their seats every inning at ballgames? (Lotta these in Philly)

Is Senior Skip day the day Ferris Bueller went to see the Cubs or something?

Truck Day foreshadows action ahead
Truck Day portends dawn of new season
Truck Day gathers steam for MLB clubs

one year passes...

In the frigid early February dawn, bats, balls, helmets and the other tools of summer were loaded onto the truck for the annual trip to Bradenton, Fla.

When that truck returns to PNC Park in eight weeks, it will be packing spring.

It's an annual rite of mid-winter and a sure sign of the approaching re-birth of mild breezes and of hope. The unloaded contents of the truck will be neatly organized in front of lockers to welcome the arrival of the players who will make good use of them.

...

What a confirmation that baseball still denotes renaissance, this simple, rather mundane ritual that means so much to so many people, moving them to daydream about light standards brightening warm summer nights and glistening off the Allegheny River waters flowing under the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

It's coming. We know this because the truck is going.

I WILL REITERATE MY HATRED OF 'TRUCK DAY' EVERY SINGLE YEAR

every time someone writes an article with that kind of tone they should just pay James Earl Jones to read it, Field of Dreams style
