Marlins start 2017 home schedule

Baseball is back in town tonight at 7:10pm ET as the Marlins, coming off a decent road trip to start the year, take on the Braves at Marlins Park.

To celebrate, lets look back on a few notable (for better or worse) home openers for the Marlins over the years.

The 1993 opener is arguably the most notable home opener in franchise history for the Marlins - it was their very first professional game! 45 year-old Charlie Hough set the tone on the mound, throwing six innings of three-run ball, easily out-dueling former Cy Young winner Orel Hershiser, who surrendered 10 hits over five frames.
