It's time for Opening Day baseball for the Indians and its Great to Be a Tribe Fan.
Gametime in Oakland is 10:05 pm. Cool weather after a long rainy day in the Oakland area where it was questionable if the game would be played. On the mound for the Indians is Justin Masterson. 2013 Stats: 14-10, 3.45 ERA, 1.202 WHIP, 193.0 IP 195 S.O. Starting for Oakland is 24 yr old, 5' 10" Sonny Gray following a 2013 campaign of 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA.
This is a high expectation year after some new additions to the team and some old favorites have moved on. This ties the earliest opening day in Tribe history, equaling the win over Seattle on March 31, 1998. Enjoy everyone!
