As a longtime enthusiast of baseball history I hate to see someone try to speak authoritatively on the subject when they seem to know so little about it.

Some interesting things happened on opening day (actually the season started about 10 days ago in Tokyo). Tyler O'Neill, an off-season acquisition by the Orioles, homered on opening day for the sixth consecutive season.
Yankee's catcher Austin Mills hit leadoff and socked the first leadoff homer by a catcher on opening day in MLB history.
