It is 182 days from the start date to the end date, end date included.
Now, I realize there are dates in there in which no baseball will be played. I don't care. I am going to bust open a pack of baseball cards every day between Opening Day and the last day of the regular season. The years, brands, etc will vary. For the sake of my own well-being, I plan to scan in 9 cards per pack maximum. Naturally, since I'm making the rules, I can break them if I need to. Or if I feel like it. Or if there are Tribers in any given pack. Or whatever. Just come along for the ride and have some fun!
Oh, I know what you're thinking: Dude, Opening Day is so two days ago. Well, you're right. So, I better hop to it! (See what I did there? Easter is Sunday... Hop to it... Come on. You know you enjoyed it.)
