Opening Day, for the vast majority of MLB teams, will be on March 28.
That’s the date when most squads will start their regular season.
However, there is a notable series of regular-season games starting exactly a month from now, on March 20.
What does that mean?
It means that only one month separates us from regular-season baseball.
The league’s official Twitter account reminded fans about the upcoming Seoul Series between two fierce division rivals.
“Regular-season baseball is only ONE MONTH away! The first-ever Seoul Series kicks off March 20th between these star-studded SoCal rivals,” they tweeted.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the San Diego Padres in South Korea, the home of Ha-Seong Kim and many other capable, talented big leaguers.
Having Kim, who was a star in Korea and then went to America to help the Padres achieve their goals, guarantees lots of San Diego jerseys in the stands.
The Dodgers, however, employed fellow local star Hyun-Jin Ryu for years, too, from 2013 to 2019.
LA brought in lots of top-end talent to their roster in the offseason, including Asian stars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Padres, on the other hand, gave a contract to Japanese reliever Yuki Matsui and currently employ ace Yu Darvish, too.
There will be a lot of interest in the series, one that has had many intense series and matchups both in the regular season and the playoffs.
It will officially kick off the 2024 MLB season, one that already has multiple candidates for the World Series trophy.
