1999 season opener, I'm in seats above home plate and watch Mo Vaughn stumble down the visitors dugout chasing a pop up and is on the DL the first game of the season.

 

YUP!  WORST OPENING DAY EVER!!!

Don Baylor would disagree.

In writing the story I was surprised to see the Angels won that game, and in pretty exciting fashion. They came from behind and Percival retired Alomar, Thome and Manny in order to hold a 1-run lead in the 9th.

Trivia should be, "Who replaced Vaughn after his fall?"

I should point out that I really enjoyed the last two home openers for 2018 & 19. The reason is because I got to be one of the holders of the gigantic flag that's on the field for the national anthem and the flyover. Also, was on the field for the player introductions. The crowd reaction for Trout was crazy. The reaction for Ohtani was off the charts. Thanks to @RendZone for making it possible. Would love to do it again any time.

You will absolutely get a PM for the next one. We had @Blarg out there a few years ago but he wanted to display the Confederate flag. Lol
