2009 MLB opener set
2008-11-10 15:33
by Bob Timmermann

The World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies were tabbed by MLB and ESPN to play in  the 2009 season opener. The Phillies will play Sunday night on April 5 against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.

Presumably, Peter Gammons will have a warmer coat by this time.

Wow, an ESPN season opener that does not include the Yankees and/or Red Sox?

The 2006 and 2007 ESPN openers didn't involve either the Yankees or Red Sox.

2008 Opener?

Although the Braves also played at Opening Night in Nationals Park.

Interestingly, guys like Gammons and Olney hate the international openers, but love the neutral site World Series.

I think this is contradictory.

5 - That was actually quite an opener, with Odalis starting, the Zimmerman walk off dinger and POTUS Boo Night.

So I think this is the second season in a row that a team has played the last game of one season and the first game of another.

When was the last time before that? 1990-91 Reds?
