Opening Day Should Be A National Holiday

What do Opening Day and our biggest national holidays have in common? Tradition. Community. Ritual. Hope. In this episode of After the Comma, we make the case that baseball's Opening Day isn't just another game on the schedule—it's a day that feels bigger than the calendar. From jerseys at work to hot dogs before noon, we already treat it like a holiday… we just haven't made it official yet. This one leans into the romantic side of baseball—the sounds, the memories, and the reminder that every spring brings a fresh start. Because after the comma… some days deserve to be celebrated.
