It’s only Opening Day, and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is setting another MLB record.
Yadier Molina is one of the most dependable catchers in baseball history. That is pretty well-established. But when you put it into context, his run of sustained high-end play becomes even more impressive.
Molina made his 17th consecutive Opening Day start for the St. Louis Cardinals, as noted by the Major League Baseball Public Relations.
