Anthony's Opening Day Heroics

0:00On March 27, Boston Red Sox Prospect Roman Anthony made a huge splash on opening day. In their three-nothing win over the Cincinnati Reds, the 21-year-old win three-for-four with three singles and a walk. That effort let him reach base four times, putting him in rare company as just the 14th player that aged to do it in baseball history. That list of predecessors reads like a who's who of legends. Names like Eddie Collins from 1909, Jimmy Foxx in 1929, Mickey Mantle in 1952, and Ken Griffey Jr. in. 1990 all made the cut. Even Brooks Robinson and Gary Carter are on there from the 50s and 70s. Out of the first 13 guys before Anthony, nine are already in the Hall of Fame. It's the kind of debut that turns heads and sets sky-high expectations for a young star breaking into the big leagues. Anthony proved he belongs by stepping up right away on baseball's biggest stage. At 21, he'll never get another shot at an opening day like this, but his track record shows he thrives under pressure.
