Opening Day: All Major League Baseball Season Opening Games, by Team, 1876-1998

By Don Kerr

This is a team-by-team reference to every baseball opening day game played since the National League started in 1876 (and the American League followed in 1901). Each team's entry begins with a chronological list of opening games, noting the opposing team, score, starting pitcher, pitcher of record, and homerun hitters. This is followed by an accounting of the team's overall record, at home record, away record, and record against specific teams. Totals for major statistical categories are given, as well as individual marks for pitching, hitting and fielding. Appendices list grand slams, overall team and individual opening day records, and year-by-year scores.
