Baseball

March 25: In a thank-you for the number of high-quality baseball exports to America, major league baseball opens its 2008 season with a game in Tokyo, Japan, between defending champion Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's. Stateside, the rest of the league goes to bat March 30 and 31.

Supreme Court

March 25: The nation's highest court will hear two cases related to the War on Terrorism and just how far habeas corpus rights guaranteed by the Constitution stretch.
