The possibilities are endless."Opening Day, thankfully, is just about here. As Miami prepares to take on the Rockies to get the 2019 MLB season underway, I decided to take a look at some of the most memorable Opening Day moments in Marlins history. April 5, 1993: First Game in Franchise HistoryOf course the inaugural game in franchise history makes this list. 42,334 fans filled Joe Robbie Stadium as professional baseball finally came to South Florida. Joe DiMaggio threw out the first pitch, CharlieHough was the starter on the mound, and the Marlins defeated the OrelHershiser led Dodgers 6-3.April 4, 2012: Opening a New StadiumWhile the construction of Marlins Park is in its own category of controversy, nobody can deny that the grand unveiling and brand new jerseys made for a festive atmosphere. The Marlins were also welcoming new additions to the roster Reggie Sanders Jersey , like JoseReyes and MarkBuehrle, plus new manager OzzieGuillen. Though the game ultimately ended in a 4-1 Cardinals victory, the feeling of excitement was obviously present in Miami. March 31, 1998: Title Defense, Part 1After the 1997 team captured the franchise’s first World Series championship, the team and its fans made their way back to Pro Player Stadium. Notable players from the previous year like JeffConine, AlLeiter and MoisesAlou were now gone. that didn’t stop Florida jumping all over the Cubs on Opening Day. However, that didn’t stop Florida jumping all over the Cubs on Opening Day. Behind home runs by GarySheffield and Charles Johnson, the Marlins cruised to an 11-6 win. It would be one of just 54 victories during that 1998 season.April 6, 2004: Title Defense http://www.redsfanproshop.com/authentic-cliff-pennington-jersey , Part 2Another parade came in 2003, and when the following season rolled around, many thought that this Marlins team could do some damage once again, especially with a good majority of the ‘03 roster returning. Thanks to three RBI’s by newcomer Hee-Seop Choi, nine strikeouts from Josh Beckett, and the first of 47 saves from ArmandoBenitez, the Marlins prevailed 4-3 over the Expos. They weren’t able to repeat as champions in 2004, though.April 5, 2005: Delgado’s DebutOh man, hopes and expectations were high for the Marlins prior to the start of the 2005 season. With players like MiguelCabrera Joe Morgan Jersey , JoshBeckett, DontrelleWillis and MikeLowell back, the Marlins also added All-Star first baseman CarlosDelgado. Florida hosted division rival Atlanta on a beautiful afternoon day at Pro Player. On the back of JuanEncarnacion’s grand slam, plus six shutout innings from Beckett, the Marlins blanked the Braves, 9-0. It remains the only shutout Opening Day victory in franchise history (also tying for their largest margin of victory in a season opener). March 29, 2018: Not Off to a Great StartNotice how I didn’t title this article, “Best Opening Day moments in Marlins history.” On the very first pitch of the game—which was also the standalone first game of the entire MLB season—Cubs outfielder IanHapp blasted a home run off of Marlins pitcher JoseUrenna. Chicago would go on to win 8-4.Anything I’m missing Marlins fans?Go Fish!
