The opening night of baseball's season began with a thrilling performance by Retired serviceman Generald Wilson, who delivered a powerful rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. The performance was broadcast by Netflix as part of its first live MLB game, hosted by Elle Duncan, featuring Giants legend Barry Bonds, WWE superstar John Cena, and NFL player Jameis Winston. However, fans were not impressed with Netflix's coverage, criticising the service for its "absurd marketing stunt" and for raising questions about subscription hurdles.
