You know what I love? The sound of the first pitch on Opening Day.

As a huge baseball fan, I'm thrilled about the start of the season, and as a WordPresser, I love the Major League Baseball themes -- Fan, Modern, and Retro -- that you can activate on your own blog to get you in the spirit of the game.

Fan is loud and vibrant -- the online equivalent of waving your rally rag in the air.

Modern is classic, offering a more minimal look so your content is front and center, ready for any curveballs thrown its way.

Retro is a throwback to old Major League Baseball logos, for nostalgic fans and bloggers who want to give their sites a proper old-school look.

You can customize each of these MLB themes with your favorite team's logo and colors, so whether you're a Red Sox, Yankees, or Giants fan -- we've got the right theme to get your fans cheering.

To get started, head over to the Theme Showcase to activate one of these themes.

In your dashboard, go to Appearance → Theme Options to select your team.
