The lasting memory of yesterday's home opener was almost certainly the four home runs, the first time they have ever hit that many in a Los Angeles home opener. Casey Blake hit one, and the other three were hit by the outfield trio of Manny Ramirez, Matt Kemp, and Andre Ethier. It was the 15th time since moving to Los Angeles that the Dodgers had all three starting outfielders hit a home run:

The game that jumped out at me, aside from the ones with home runs by Tom Goodwin and Dave Roberts, was the 1986 game in Houston. Not only did Franklin Stubbs start in center field, but Ralph Bryant hit third. The 25-year old Bryant started 20 games in September that season, and had 12 extra-base hits, including six home runs in just 82 plate appearances on the season. The opposing pitcher that day was current Dodger Double A pitching coach Danny Darwin.
