Vote: Which Philly Sporting Event Are You Most Excited For?

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- April is arguably the best sports month of the year.

Final Four, The Masters, MLB Opening Day, start of the NHL Playoffs, start of the NBA Playoffs, and the NFL Draft. It's loaded.

For Philadelphia sports fans, in specific, these April events coupled with the emergence of warm weather has everyone excited. But which event in April has you the most excited?

  • Villanova takes on Oklahoma in the Final Four on Saturday, April 2nd. A win would put them in Monday's National Championship game against the winner of North Carolina-Syracuse.
  • The Phillies, while they certainly do not have lofty expectations, open their season on Monday, April 4th at the Cincinnati Reds.
  • The Flyers continue to fight for their playoff lives, now tied with the Red Wings for the eighth and final playoff spot with one game in hand after Monday night's thrilling overtime win. The Flyers end their regular season on Sunday, April 10th at the New York Islanders.
  • The Eagles own the eighth overall pick in this year's NFL Draft on Thursday, April 28th and there is speculation that they are interested in top quarterback prospects Carson Wentz and Jared Goff.

On Twitter, 40-percent of fans -- the plurality -- were most interested in the Flyers' playoff run.

Unsurprisingly, the 76ers -- with four potential first-round picks, including the highest shot at No. 1 overall -- drew some write-in votes. However, the NBA Draft Lottery is not until May, so I left them off the list (and the fact that Twitter poll only provides four options).

I added them for some additional fun on this poll. Go vote.
