Astronaut Reveals What Major League Baseball Opening Day Looks Like From Space

Stocktrek Images/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — While it’s safe to say he won’t be catching any home runs, astronaut Terry Virts had an out-of-this-world view of Major League Baseball’s Opening Day.
Virts, a Baltimore Orioles fan who has been at the International Space Station for the past few months, hopes to photograph all 28 cities with an MLB stadium.
The plan is to post the photos to his Twitter and Instagram accounts with the hashtag #ISSPlayBall, and then to have his followers guess which city is pictured before he reveals the answer.
#OpeningDay! This #Namethe city prepared me for where I am today. #ISSPlayBall fans, guess now, answer comes later. pic.twitter.com/CeZb97QCvw

“This is my favorite thing to do in orbit,” Virts said, according to NASA. “But as good as the camera is, it’s just not even close to the same thing as being here in person.”
