Written by: Besa Gordon - Yesterday was officially #OpeningDay for Major League Baseball, and let me tell you, friend. Your girl lived her best life last year. If I were to be really honest, last year has to be my favorite baseball season yet. For starters, I was the official red carpet host for All-Stars in 2023; I took over T-Mobile Park with Bookie Gates from Baseball Beyond Borders to do a whole commercial for the HBCU swingman classic.

If you were there, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
