MLB's long-awaited Opening Day is finally here, and you know what that means: It’s finally time for some baseball. The beginning of the season always triggers thoughts of past memorable starts to MLB seasons.

Some of the hottest starts to the season include the American League's two best seasons ever, by record. Both the ’98 Yankees and the ’01 Mariners pushed the all-time AL single-season wins mark, as the Yanks set a new record of 114 wins and three years later Seattle topped it by two—now the record sits at 116 wins.

Also on the list are two teams who went undefeated through the first 13 games of the regular season, not to mention a team that won 35 of its first 40 games, as it produced one of the most memorable seasons in MLB history.

I’ve compiled a list of my 10 most memorable and prominent starts to a MLB baseball season. Of course, I may have missed one or two hot April and May starts, but check out this list and see what you think.
