Monday, March 30 was originally slated to be Opening Day, the start to baseball season. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been postponed.

However, the Detroit Tigers are still encouraging fans to show love while practicing social distancing guidelines.

Tigers fans near and far are being asked to rock their gear for "Opening Stay." Fans should share photos with #TigersOpeningStay.

"While this year’s Opening Day on March 30 has been postponed, there are still ways to capture and share the spirit of the day to keep our community safe and connected," the organization said.
