Do you have any memorable Opening Day stories ?
Ler's hear them.
I was at the last home opener at Cleveland Stadium, 1993.
I believe it was a sell-out (or close to it) and it was two weeks after the boat crash that took Steve Olin and Tim Crews' life. Their wives were brought out to the mound before the game, it was a sad scene.

30 years later: Jim Donovan looks back on the tragic deaths of Cleveland Indians pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews
Both men were killed in a horrific boating accident on Florida's Little Lake Nellie. Their loss reverberated throughout the team, the city, and all of baseball.Author: Jim DonovanPublished: 7:20 PM EDT March 21, 2023Updated: 8:26 PM EDT March 22, 2023
CLEVELAND — March 22, 1993, in Winter Haven, Florida. The Cleveland Indians were being rewarded by manager Mike Hargrove for hard work with a day off, their only day off of spring training.
It should've been a day of rest and fun; it turned into the darkest day in Cleveland sports history. It was the day two Indians pitchers were killed and one other was critically injured, the result of a horrific boating accident

It was tough watching Bieber walk onto the field before the game. You could see him get choked up.

No good place to put this, but I thought it would be worth posting since it's baseball.
Baseball Conventional Wisdom at all levels tells you that you should never, ever under any circumstance intentionally put the winning run on base in the bottom of the 9th playing away from home in a tie game.
However, with one away and the guy at the plate having already had two prior HRs in the game, that conventional wisdom should be thrown out with a little common sense. Do not throw to a hot hitter. Otherwise........................................well this can happen.The Aggies have a great chant that would have applied here last night, "Walking's cheaper (clap clap........clap, clap, clap, repeat, etc.). -
GAME 12 - APR 10. I turned this game on at 7 pm it was CSX 5-0.
Now 8 pm its CSX 5-4 bottom 6 CLE bases loaded -0- outs.
G's have homered their way back in it. Now 5-5 to top 7.
5-5 top 9th. Oh boy, Clase in.

Cleveland (9-3) wins it in the 11th 7-6 ! ★ The first extra inning game of 2024. OFF TOMORROW APRIL 11th.
