“There's nothing like Opening Day.

There's nothing like the start of a new season.

I started playing baseball when I was seven years old and

quit playing when I was 40, so it's kind of in my blood”

- George Brett

Hall of Famer, World Series Champion, AL MVP, 13-time All-Star, and 3,000 Hit Club.

“The key to winning baseball games is:

pitching, defense, and three run homers”

- Earl Weaver

Hall of Famer, Manager World Series Champion, and 1,480 Wins (MLB Rank #23). 

“An opener is not like any other game.

There's that little extra excitement, a faster beating of the heart.

You have that anxiety to get off to a good start, for yourself and for the team.

You know that when you win the first one, you can't lose 'em all”

- Early Wynn

Hall of Famer, 9-time All Star, AL Cy Young and 300 Win Club.

“Every day is a new opportunity.

You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again.

That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is”

- Bob Feller

Hall of Famer, World Series Champion, 8-time All Star, Triple Crown, 6-time leader in Wins and 7-time in Strikeouts, 3 No-hitters. 

“Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa”

- Casey Stengel

“You always get a special kick on opening day,

no matter how many you go through.

You think something wonderful is going to happen”

- Joe DiMaggio

Hall of Famer, 3-time MVP, 9-time World Series Champion, 13-time All-Star, and record 56-game hitting streak.

“I don't want them to forget Babe Ruth,

I just want them to remember me!”

- Hank Aaron

“The only bad thing about winning the pennant,

is that you have to manage the All-Star Game the next year.

I'd rather go fishing for three days.”

- Whitey Herzog
