Everything We Love About Baseball's Opening Day in One Photo

The crack of the bat. The smell of fresh cut grass. The...pain of opening your wallet for overpriced beers at the stadium concession stands

You betcha, baseball is back.

Monday was Opening Day for Major League Baseball and few things feel more American that soaking in a ballgame during an afternoon at the park

Which is exactly what makes this photo from Dallas Morning News photographer Louis DeLuca so impressive. It captures everything you think of when it comes to Opening Day: the beautiful weather, the mammoth American flag, and the now popular pregame flyover.
