Dodgers-Diamondbacks to open in Australia
Tuesday afternoon, Major League Baseball unveiled the tentative schedule for the 2014 season, headlined by the early opener in the land down under.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks will square off in Sydney, Australia for a two-game set March 22-23 to kick things off. This will mark the first time in baseball history that regular-season games have been played in Australia.
Other opening games played outside the U.S., Puerto Rico or Canada came in Monterrey, Mexico (1999) and Tokyo, Japan (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012).
