Apr. 12—Nothing seems normal about Opening Day 2022.
The Cincinnati Reds opened the season on the road and split the four-game series against the defending World Champion Atlanta Braves. It was the third time since 1890 the Reds opened away from home.
The 1966 team started the season in Philadelphia after its three-game series against the New York Mets at Crosley Field was rained out.
Then the 1990 World Champion Reds started on the road against the Houston Astros because a lockout delayed the start of Spring Training, preventing a season opener at Riverfront Stadium.
