The Giants’ opening day roster has been set for a few days, and there’s some interesting facts and tidbits within that roster. In preparation for another season of America’s Pastime, here are some of those facts and tidbits.
Madison Bumgarner is the ninth Giants’ pitcher, and the youngest, to start at least three straight Opening Days
With his third consecutive Opening Day start, Bumgarner joins a list that includes some pretty impressive names. Carl Hubbell and Juan Marichal (who started six straight season openers at one point) are the two most famous names on the list, but they are joined by Livan Hernandez, John Montefusco, Johnny Antonelli, Bill Voiselle, Larry Jansen, and Tim Lincecum.
