Opening Day 2010

by Larry Koestler

The 2010 baseball season finally kicks off tonight, as our beloved Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox at 8:05pm at Fenway Park. Toeing the rubber for the Yankees for his second straight Opening Day start is CC Sabathia, who will be opposed by Josh Beckett. I haven't seen the lineup yet, but it probably looks like this:

SS Jeter
DH Johnson
1B Teixeira
3B Rodriguez
2B Cano
C Posada
CF Granderson
RF Swisher
LF Gardner

I wonder how many other teams have their outfielders in the bottom three slots of the lineup.

I also thought it'd be fun to go back and see how the Yanks have done during the last 20 Opening Days:


















13-7. Not too shabby.

See you at the first pitch.

  2. Really interesting that seven of the opposing pitchers of record were also Yankees at one point (Orosco, Gibson, Clemens, Brown, Rogers, Erickson, Wells)
