PA announcer Dan Baker introduced the Phillies roster and Adam Eaton received a round of boos. Eaton, who struggled in the spring after a dismal 2007, doffed his cap anyhow. He knows the heat's on.
The usual suspects received the loudest ovations, including the first "MVP" chant when Jimmy Rollins was called.
It's still overcast down here in South Philly and a little raw. At least the rain has subsided and there's not much wind to speak of, either.
As we wait for the first pitch, a little trivia: Pat Burrell is about to make his eighth opening-day start in leftfield. Who was the last Phillies' opening-day leftfielder prior to Burrell?
Answer will come after Burrell's at-bat.

Ron Gant I think is the answer.
