1948 | At Ebbets Field No. 2, the Dodgers play their first exhibition game at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, which will remain the team's home for 61 years. Amidst much fanfare, including Governor Millard Caldwell throwing the ceremonial first pitch, Jackie Robinson homers in the first inning when Brooklyn beats its top farm club, the Montreal Royals, 5-4. |
2018 | Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, who goes 3-for-4 in the team's 3-2 victory over the Rays at Tropicana Field, becomes the first American Leaguer to have multiple extra-base hits in the season's first three games. Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez also accomplished the feat, collecting at least two safeties in LA's first three contests when he compiled ten hits in his first 14 at-bats, starting the 2015 campaign. |
