'What do you mean the game starts at 3:10 in the morning?!' MLB's strikeout on globalization

Did you know that the Major League Baseball season started today?

Given all the publicity and marketing put into MLB, you’d think everyone would know this. But even though the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, and pretty much every other team is still in Arizona or Florida with about a week left in Spring Training, the Oakland A’s and the Seattle Mariners kicked off the regular season in the Tokyo Dome this morning at 6:10 EST.

That’s right, if you were an A’s or M’s fan living in Oakland or Seattle, your favorite team would’ve started playing at 3:10 in the morning!

What the hell, MLB?
