MLB Opening Day: 5 Apps to Kickoff the Season
Major League Baseball is back! On Sunday, April 3 The Walking Dead season finally wasn’t the only thing to watch out for — three stadiums raised their curtains as they launched into the 2016 season. The first three games of the year consisted of the Pirates beating the Cardinals 4-1, the Blue Jays topping the Rays 5-3, and the Royals finished 4-3 against the Mets. Monday April 4, we saw 26 teams throw the first pitch and there will be more to come today.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to make it to every single game to root for their favorite team, but anyone can download a few apps to keep them in the loop all throughout the season. Give em’ the heater with these 5 apps of the season.
