Opening Day is here! Well, almost. What are Giants fans’ favorite memories of Opening Days past?
Good morning, baseball fans!
With just one more day to go until the San Francisco Giants play their first regular season game of 2025, today I wanted to hear from you all about some of your favorite memories from Opening Days past.
Personally, I think Opening Day should be a national holiday. Unfortunately for me and baseball fans everywhere, that is not the case. So I usually end up having to work and play the game on the radio if I’m lucky.
So instead I’ll chime in with one of my favorite memories of home openers. Somehow I ended up being on long drives for both the 2010 and 2011 home openers, so I was listening on the radio. And if you remember those games at all, you may remember having a huge sense of deja vu in 2011.
Both games ended up going to extra innings and both games were won with a walk-off single by Aaron Rowand. I even had the same friend in my car for both games. She didn’t really follow baseball but even she found the whole thing to be incredibly odd. It was great.
