18 April, 1901: Opening Day

The air is thick with anticipation as the national pastime heads into a new era. Last night, the pundits released various analyses of how they see the season panning out. if they are to be believed, we are in for an exciting year, with the Senators, Orioles and Blues their main hopes in the AL, while they see the Cards, Orphans and Pirates fighting for the NL pennant.

With regard to individual performances, they are looking for big offensive years from O’s cornerman Wid Conroy and Athletics RF Glenn Wilson in the AL, while they see Joe Pepitone continuing his hot Spring Training form into the regular season in the NL. And they are expecting breakout years from Cleveland Blues ace Gary Peters and Cardinal Flint Rhem.

The player rankings see Tigers OF Del Howard top the position players with #1 Draft pick Ed Head rated best hurler.

They’ve spotted some potential stars of tomorrow as well. Keep an eye out for SP Moose Haas from the Giants and Senators second baseman Wally Backman to make their mark at some point.

Ahhh I love the smell of pine tar in the morning. Let’s play ball!
