We’ve been counting down the days since October 28, 2018, and now it’s finally happening. Major League Baseball Opening Day.

Needless to say, we’ve spent the day sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what our favorite teams will do on social media. #OpeningDay 2019 was packed with stunning photography, thumb-stopping videos and eye-catching graphics. Here’s a quick look at some of the best social media moments of the day – which we know is just a taste of what’s to come this season!

Play ball!

First up, an exciting hype video from the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. This team wowed us with their Wall of Wins in 2018 – can’t wait to see what’s up next!

We love seeing shots that capture the anticipation and magic that comes with Opening Day – like this one from the Oakland A’s.

Behind the scenes content is a hit with baseball fans. It’s great to see the Miami Marlins starting off the season right!

The Twins are stopping fans in their tracks with this video. It’s packed with motion graphics and fast-paced editing that’s sure to catch your eye.

All eyes are on Philadelphia and their newest superstar, Bryce Harper. As if he needed to do anything else to win over fans, Harper wore Phanatic cleats on Opening Day – and the Phillies wasted no time showing them off on social media.

We love stats – but we love them even more when they’re highlighted in a visually engaging way. Check out this awesome multimedia graphic from the Yankees!

And of course, the fans make baseball special. Shout out to the Kansas City Royals for weathering the storm and making this awesome fan content despite the rain!

We can’t wait to see what our friends in baseball come up with this season. From eclipse sing-alongs to Twitter snowball fights, this crew knows how to keep us entertained – and we’re excited to see what’s next!
