The Phillies have been around since 1883. That’s a lot of opening days. Mike Schmidt has been in the Opening Day lineup 16 years. Not a lot, but the Phillies’ all-time leader.
Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com we’ve been able to come up with a cluster of notes about Phillies Opening Day lineups, dating back to the 1908 season.

2B Chase Utley (8) . . . Otto Knabe/Tony Taylor (6)
