Richie Hebner knew how to get the party started

 

[molsaniceman]

Of the thousands of Opening Day games on the books through AL or NL history, only once has a pitcher held the opposition hitless from start to finish. That Opening Day no-hitter took place on April 16, 1940, when the Indians' 21-year old Bob Feller -- a name already well-known to hitters across the Junior Circuit -- climbed the hill against the White Sox.
But the game had an inglorious start for "Rapid Robert," who led the league in walks a handful of times to go along with all those strikeouts.
"The first couple of innings, I was pretty wild," Feller later recalled. "In the second inning, I loaded the bases. Someone in the bullpen was warming up and the manager [Ossie Vitt] was getting ready to walk out to the mound. But I managed to strike out the last hitter on a full count."
Once Feller settled in, Chicago's opening game turned into a long afternoon. The future Hall of Famer struck out eight White Sox that day, navigating around five walks to record the first Opening Day no-hitter.

Sonny Gray (Athletics) -- 7 innings vs. Rangers on April 6, 2015
The 2015 season marked Gray's coming-out party (14-7, 2.73 ERA and a third-place finish in the American League Cy Young Award vote) -- and it was evident right from Opening Day. The righty held Texas hitless through the first seven innings before Ryan Rua led off the eighth with a single, prompting a sellout crowd to chant "Sonny!" in appreciation. Gray's eight innings of one-hit ball helped Oakland snap a Major League-record 10-year losing streak in season openers.

I like the Tuffy Rhodes story

Cubs Classics: Tuffy Rhodes’ historic Opening Day

Tuffy Rhodes didn't have a long career in Major League Baseball, but he had one epic game: A 3-homer game on Opening Day in 1994. Relive this moment as a part of our Cubs Classics series on Marquee Sports Network.

Remember - Tyler O'Neil (Bal) has hit a home run in five straight opening days.

Can he make it six tomorrow in Toronto?

That’s a record, right?

 

[steveringo]

That’s a record, right?

I think he broke it last year in Boston.
