Interesting bit: Craig Counsell is now at the Brewers; he pinch-hit yesterday and started today.
On our first-ever home Opening Day, 14th April 2005, he was at the Diamondbacks, starting at 2nd base, and took the first-ever at-bat at a Nationals home match...stepping in against Livan Hernandez, he was out on a called third strike.
In this RFK farewell season, it does get a bit poignant, the way things can come full circle like this.
