Blue Jays 2008 Opening Day Lineup:
2008 marked the 6th straight Opening Day assignment for Roy Halladay in a Blue Jays uniform and is still the longest such stretch of assignments for one pitcher in Blue Jays history. Opening Day was rained out, so the make-up game was the next night at Yankee Stadium. It was the final Opening Day at the old Yankee Stadium.
Opposing Roy Halladay was Chien-Ming Wang, who’d later end up a Blue Jay in 2013 for a brief stint. Halladay went 7.0 strong innings, only allowing three runs but wasn’t good enough to beat Wang’s two earned runs over 7.
