Merrill Kelly's back problems have limited him to just two Spring Training outings, resulting in his placement on the 15-day injured list as announced by manager Torey Lovullo.

Garrett Whitlock absolutely stood out as a star from his time on the mound in March, though his run ended with heartbreak and fair concerns for the upcoming season.

The rules of the sport itself are pretty much the same around the world, but the behaviors of the people-both fans and players-often illustrate some of the key differences between collectivism and individualism. The emphasis on both hierarchical connectedness (vertical collectivism) and interconnectedness with others (horizontal collectivism) is apparent whenever I attend baseball games in Korea, in contrast to the MLB games that I have attended in the U.S.

Man, it's an honor. I'm so grateful to be the guy who gets the ball on that day. Obviously it's a game just like the rest of the other 162, but I'm super grateful. Opening Day, it is really something that is truly special. I understand how much it means to Chicago fans and how much it means to my own family.
