Ted Williams was a .449 hitter in openers, with three home runs and fourteen runs batted in during fourteen games. "Teddy Ballgame" also boasted at least one hit in every Opening Day game he appeared in. Williams' first Opening Day (April 20, 1939) was especially noteworthy as he faced the rival New York Yankees and Lou Gehrig, who was playing in his 2,123rd consecutive game.

The Phillies won on opening day in 1907 when the home team, the New York Giants, forfeited the game. Play was stopped in the eighth inning when snowball-throwing fans got a little too out of hand.
