BASEBALL IS BACK OPENING DAY SCHEDULE  West Coast gets 10am baseball and everyone gets a World Series rematch tonight!  Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com 1919 - One of the most bizarre off-the-field incidents in history takes place in Jacksonville, Florida. New York Yankees outfielder Ping Bodie competes against an ostrich named "Percy" in a spaghetti-eating contest. Bodie wins the competition when Percy passes out after its 11th plate of pasta. 1985 - A major league owners' proposal is agreed to by the Players Association. The American and National leagues playoff formats are changed to best-of-sevens. The League Championship Series had been played as a best-of-five since its inception in 1969. 1989 - Ken Griffey, Jr. of the Seattle Mariners makes his major league debut. The rookie outfielder hits a double in his first at-bat against Dave Stewart of the Oakland Athletics. 1996 - Saint Francis College sets 71 NCAA records with a 71 - 1, four-inning defeat of Robert Morris University. The Fighting Saints score 26 runs in the 1st inning, 22 more in the 2nd, four in the 3rd and 19 in the 4th, collecting 44 hits along the way. 2002 - The Giants defeat the Dodgers, 12 - 0, as Our Lord and Savior Ser Barrold Lamar Bonds hits a pair of home runs for the second day in a row. He becomes only the second player in major league history to begin a season with a pair of two-homer games. Eddie Mathews was the other.  The Royals' first pitch is currently ongoing as part of a 9.5-mile relay from Union Station Born on This Day 1930 - Wally Moon 1975 - Koji Uehara 1981 - Ryan Doumit 1983 - Nick Markakis 1987 - Jay Bruce 1987 - Jason Kipnis 1992 - Blake Swihart  Joe DiMaggio posted:You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

ESPN suggesting Matheny is a quality in-game manager. If you didn't doubt ESPN's expert analysis before...
