opening day baseball today not in America unpatriotic?

today the World Champion Boston Red Sox's(Who I can't stand,Yankees fan here) and the Oakland A's started the season off in Japan early this morning.Boston won the game in dramatic fashion in the 10nth inning. but the thing is that the first game of the season wasn't even in the United States. Boston didn't get to start the season off at home.it would be there ring day. I just know that it feels strange and odd not to have opening day Baseball in America. now I know that the game is trying to be global and appeal worldwide and make that money,but it does hurt when the game itself isn't present on Opening day. Baseball is a important sport that always seems to mess itself up and doesn't seem to want to reconect with the people on a whole. as much as I can't stand the Boston Red sox's I did feel for them not being able to start the first game of the season at home. i can actually imagine the day when Baseball on Opening day might be a Pay Per View just to see a game far away that is so removed from what is happening today and yet I remain and always will be a baseball fan,but still...................
