Welcome to MLB Opening Day, one of the most-anticipated dates on the sports calendar.
Once again, all 30 MLB teams were scheduled to play the same day, Thursday, March 28, and that includes the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, who technically opened the 2024 season by splitting a pair of games last week in Seoul, South Korea.
Already, Mother Nature has thrown a wrinkle into MLB's plans, as weather has forced the postponement of two games: Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets, and Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies. A third game, Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles, is also being threatened by rain.
The Arizona Diamondbacks begin defense of their National League pennant at 7:10 p.m. against the Colorado Rockies. Gates at Chase Field open at 5 p.m. Cardinals Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner is scheduled to throw out the first pitch.

What to know about the Diamondbacks stadium?
The Diamondbacks begin their 27th MLB season at Chase Field, their home in downtown Phoenix since the franchise's inception in 1999. The retractable-domed stadium, known across MLB for its iconic swimming pool in right-center field, is currently the subject of much speculation regarding its future. Will the team be able to renovate the facility to keep it in step with the newer venues across baseball? Will the Diamondbacks look to move to new digs elsewhere in the Valley?
The most pressing issue facing the Diamondbacks is the situation with the roof, which for a third consecutive season will not be able to be opened or closed while fans are in the building.
The Diamondbacks continue to be concerned that an issue with the roof might cause a cable to snap during roof movement, potentially threatening anyone in the stadium. The team has to make a determination before the gates open whether to have the roof open or keep it shut. Generally, the Diamondbacks err on the side of caution based on the weather forecast, but that came back to haunt them on Monday when, with the roof open, an unexpected storm came through the Phoenix area while a preseason game was being played. Since the roof could not be closed, the game had to be canceled out of concern for players' safety.
After that incident, Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said this week that the team knows of a possible fix that should solve the issue, but it cannot start until next offseason.
