MLB Season Opener in Tokyo

A long flight to Tokyo didn't derail Boston Red Sox fans from watching their beloved team kick off the regular season. Fans who made the more-than-15-hour flight cheered on the defending Major League Baseball champions to a win against the Oakland Athletics, 6-5, at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo March 25, 2008. It was the earliest season opener in MLB history, and the third to take place in Tokyo. (Shizuo Kambayashi/AP Photo)
