Noah Syndergaard: “It was a great feeling getting out there, didn’t really feel like I missed any time with that injury last year. It was great to go out there and feel the energy that the 7 Line brings and the Mets fans bring. Just propels me to do a better job." #Mets

Year:, 2000, Game # 1, Wednesday, Mar 29, NYM 3 CHC 5, boxscore, WP:, Lieber, LP: Hampton, Save: Aguilera, Time: 3:26, NIGHT, Attendance: 55,000
Baseball Reference: 2000 - In Japan, the Chicago Cubs open the major league season at the Tokyo Dome by defeating the New York Mets, 5 - 3, in the first major league opening day ever played outside of the United States, Canada or Mexico. Jon Lieber gets the victory and Mike Hampton takes the loss. Shane Andrews, Mark Grace and Mike Piazza hit home runs in the game.
Ironton Tribune.com: Cubs beat Mets in Japan, 5-3. “Mike Hampton made this a truly wild opening day. Baseball truly turned international today, and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of Hampton’s nine walks to beat the New York Mets 5-3 in the first major league game played outside North America.”
MLB.com: Box
score of the day: Piazza, Sosa slug in Japan. “The headliners of this game were Slammin'
Sammy, coming off back-to-back 60-homer seasons, and Hall of Famer Piazza,
who'd just crushed 40 home runs in 1999…Sosa didn't homer on Opening Day, but
the Cubs' cleanup man ripped a double, finished 2-for-3 and reached base four
times in Chicago's victory. The home runs would come, as Sosa bashed 50 in 2000
to lead the Majors. Piazza did provide fireworks for New York. He crushed an
opposite-field home run -- featuring a smooth bat drop as he watched it go --
to make it a close game in the eighth. Piazza's 2-for-4 day was the start of
one of his greatest seasons. He hit .324 with 38 home runs and finished third
in NL MVP voting.”

Nimmo's look reminds me a bit of Roger Maris. Watching that HR, it would be cool if Nimmo could hit 100 HRs in 2 years like Maris. I'll take 40.
Eickhoff - many sad to see him go - all on opposing teams.
Gsellman on OD roster? SMH
Good Stuff Tom.
