Before getting started, just noting how much I like the new look of BaseballLibrary.com. Good job redesigners.

Complete entry for April 6 is HERE.

Highlighted entries:
2001
A crowd of 42‚ 024‚ including President George Bush is on hand for the first game ever played in Milwaukee's Miller Park. After Bush tosses out the first ball‚ the Brewers come from behind on Richie Sexson's 2-run HR in the 8th to defeat the Reds‚ 5-4. Reliever David Weathers takes the win.

1977
The Seattle Mariners make their debut‚ losing to Frank Tanana and the Angels 7-0. Joe Rudi is 3-for-4 with a homer and 4 RBIs. The loser for the M's is Diego Segui‚ who pitched for the Seattle Pilots Opener in 1969‚ a 4-3 loss at Anaheim. Segui is the only player to appear for both the Pilots and the Mariners.
