Magnificent game with a great finish. What a tournament.
Side note: Not everyone is Ohtani ... but he proves that SOME PITCHERS CAN HIT. Him going to the outfield, then returning to the mound for the final inning, was pure #1947League!

James Taylor says the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
On #OpeningDay, let's recall that the single best method for enjoying the passage of time ever devised is watching a #baseball game.

WHO SAYS 2ND DIVISION IS DULL?
WAS tops CLE as Homer Curry does it all: homers, scores both runs, holds opposition to 1 ER , gets tossed after hitting Ruszkowski to load the bases! Munger gets the SV.
WAS (17-49) 270
CLE (26-40) 190
