We have been fortunate to experience two opening days already, and now we have the opening day of baseball being truly all the way back as the Double-A and the A-ball levels played their first games Friday night. The Atlanta Braves top prospect Michael Harris made his season debut with Double-A Mississippi, Rome featured the second best hitter in the system Vaughn Grissom, and Augusta featured the performance of the day for little-known starting pitcher Royber Salinas.
