Early Baseball Notes

Earlier in the opening week of baseball, the 1987 World Series opponents, the Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals hosted the last two World Series winners the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs.

In those opening series, the Twins won all 3 vs K.C. while the Cubs took two of three games at St. Louis.

Last year the Blue Jays ended the Orioles season with a game ending home run in a Monday so called play in game.

On opening day, a Monday, the Orioles won the game which ended with a home run.
