Opening day is the one day on the sports calendar that still means something in a rapidly changing world in which the Yankees can grow facial hair and bags no longer fly free on Southwest Airlines .

The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers open the season at the Tokyo Dome on Tuesday .

It's the sixth major-league series in Japan , including the Cubs-Mets debut, which took place on March 29-30 .

Jet lag is real, so it makes perfect sense to let the players get reacclimated to their own time zone without affecting their body clocks in any real games.
