Minor League Baseball Brings Opening Night Into Fans’ Homes

The coronavirus pandemic postponed the season’s start

Thursday, April 9, would have been Opening Night for Minor League Baseball, but the coronavirus pandemic left sports on hiatus. Covid-19 can’t stop #MiLBAtHomeOpener, though.

#MiLBAtHomeOpener is a daylong interactive campaign Thursday aimed at engaging and connecting with homebound fans across the country, and teams will participate in the event, as well as supporting it via their digital and social media channels.

Festivities include features with team executives and mascots, kids’ activities, partner spotlights, an MiLB apparel hour with exclusive giveaways, MiLB team community spotlights and a stream of notable games from the 2019 season, capped off with a postgame fireworks show.

The nine-inning schedule follows (all times ET):
