The wait for the complete return of Our National Pastime has never felt longer but, mercifully for us "seamheads", today is the day that the Great American Game finally begins again! Baseball is back and I couldn't be happier.

Originally produced in 2008 and voiced by the late Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Dave Niehaus, the Seattle Mariners have updated the video that is rolled out each year to usher in the new season.

Seattle Mariner great Edgar Martinez will find out if he makes the National Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2018 this afternoon.
