Easter + Baseball = Spring
It's Easter weekend. And it's the opening weekend for baseball.
Regardless of the weather, it's officially Spring.
Easter is celebrated on the 1st Sunday, which follows the first full moon, that comes immediately after the spring equinox.
And 2024 marks the 148th (1876 to 2024) opening weekend for major league baseball.
Tahoe's crews deserve a good weekend celebration after working on refurbishing and replacing several area ballfield projects.

  1. What a great reminder that spring arrives on two fronts at once — the liturgical calendar and the baseball diamond. I didn’t realize the Easter date calculation was tied so precisely to the first full moon after the equinox, and pairing that with the 148th opening weekend since 1876 really puts the season in perspective. Those 12-foot batting cages in Fernley sound like a serious upgrade; I’ve seen how much difference proper netting and cage height make for kids working on their swing, especially in windy conditions. It’s easy to forget that behind every opening-day pitch there are crews doing unglamorous infrastructure work all winter. Thanks for giving them a shout-out, and happy Easter — play ball indeed.
