Baseball Babe #100 Ian Kinsler Texas Rangers Opening Day Home Run

The Texas Rangers didn't lock up their prized second baseman Ian Kinsler before opening day. So. he showed them what they will be getting for there money when he hit the first home run of the season for the Texas Rangers in the the third inning. That was after he hit a double in the first inning and scored off Josh Hamilton's sacrifice fly. Kinsler was the main contributor on offense for them winning over the Chicago White Sox. The Rangers are hoping for another 30/30 plus season and increasing on his .255 BA and opening day started it off on the right "bat".

Baseball Babe #99 Justin Masterson Cleveland Indians "Masterful" 10 Strikeouts on Opening Day 2012

The Cleveland Indians ace Justin Masterson pitched like one on Opening Day when he went eight strong innings. The strike out pitch like all other was working getting double digit 10 K's before leaving with a 4-1 lead. He only gave up a solo shot to Jose Bautista, a home run hitter of the highest magnitude! That was his really only blemish of his outing. Then closer Chris Perez came to the mound to what was hoped to be a save, but the opening day jitters must have gotten to him and gave up the lead in the ninth. The scored stayed the same until a record 16th inning 3 run homer given up by Jairo Asencio to J.P Arencibia broke up the tie and overall win by the Toronto Blue Jays.

Indian fans take nothing away from the "Masterful" start of Justin Masterson the "Ace" did put the Indians in the best place to win the game.

Baseball Babe #98 Jose Bautista Toronto Blue Jays Outfielder/First baseman homered Opening Day

Let the Fantasy Baseball God's be aware of the possible eligibilty of Jose Bautista as a 1st baseman!

The slugger started off the season against the Cleveland Indians on Opening Day the way he did all last year and that's hitting the baseball and hitting it hard. The day ended with him going 3-for-4 with a home run, 1 run, two rbi's and two bb's one intentional. The switch to 1st base happened in the ninth inning on a switch that also put 45 year old and ageless INF Omar Vizquel in shallow left field for defensive purposes to help produce a double play that eventually got them out of the inning. He went back to left in the 13th when Vizquel took over at first.

But, his home run batting prowless is what the Toronto Blue Jay's fans love about Bautista.

Baseball Babe #97 Honors J.P. Arencibia Toronto Blue Jays 16th inning 3 Run HR shot for win

The record longest game in MLB Opening Day history happened on 4/5/2012 when the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Cleveland Indians 7-4 in 16 innings. Mark it!

The hero was J.P. Arencibia who with two men on tried an ugly sacrifice bunt went awful decided to swing on the next pitch. The ball was struck and it was bomb over the left field fence that in the top half of the inning took the life out of the Indians.

Arencibia's first home run of the season could not have been more dramatic. They say a win is a winn but opening day 16th inning home run will go down in the history books.

The no-hitter was broke up by newly acquired all star Jose Reyes in the seventh. In the eighth Omar Infante scored on a double by John Buck that happened due to ablown call at first on Omar's clearly late to the bag single.
