Opening Day has always been one of Matt Wieters' favorite days of the year.
"From 1 to 10 o'clock, there are games on, one after the other," the Orioles' second-year catcher said.
On the eve of playing in his first Opening Day game, Wieters said that the nerves still haven't set in, but even when/if they do, he doesn't think it will be anything that he hasn't already experienced.
"I don't think I could ever be more nervous than I was in my debut [last year]," Wieters said.
More than 42,000 turned out to Camden Yards on May 29 of last year to watch Wieters make his big league debut against the Detroit Tigers. While the Rays have sold out tomorrow night's game, Wieters doesn't have to worry about all eyes being on him.
"Once you get all the introductions out of the way, it's just another baseball game," he said.
