A simply unbelievable Opening Day, 1975 for the EL.
First and foremost, Newark's Connie Rector no-hits the defending champs to spoil their flag unveiling in a game that is also memorable for Albert Belle's fine debut.
Meanwhile, another fine first EL game by Homestead's Miguel Cabrera is all but eclipsed (pun intended) by Baltimore's Hurley McNair, who hits for the cycle in a 12-3 win for the EGs.
Let's hope this is a dual omen for what the season to come has in store.
