I looked up the 1918 season on Retrosheet.... and just to give an idea of how much the game has changed, Cardinals right fielder Doug Baird hit the first homerun in the Majors that year....
On the season's FOURTH day! 36 games had been played by the end of that day....

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Opening Day
This baseball season is the first since 1885 that has neither Connie Mack nor Vin Scully.
