On March 25, the San Francisco Giants hold a unique baseball record by starting a different left fielder on opening day for 19 straighten seasons. That streak ties the 1937 to 1955 Browns and Orioles for the longest run without a repeat at any single position since. 1900, now that run looks set to end. Manager Bob Melvin announced that Helia Ramos, who started their last season, will take the spot again when the Giants faced the Yankees on Wednesday. Night, since Barry Bond's last held down left field on opening day, back in 2007, the Giants have rotated through 18 other players in that. Roll, from veterans like Pat Burrell and Hunter Pence to relative newcomers. In fact, last year's choice helped them snag the second longest such streak, passing the Padres run from 2005 to 2021. This repeat brings some stability to the position after years of shuffling, signaling a new chapter for San Francisco as they kick off the season.
