Recap of the First week of the Season

The first week of the season has been a good one. Some teams are off to a good while others are off to bad starts. The Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants, the two teams who played in last year’s World Series both had their home openers. The Tigers raised their American League Pennant Flag while the Giants raised their National League Pennant Flag and their World Series Championship Flag. The Giants also received their World Series Championship rings. The Giants star player Buster Posey received his National League MVP trophy and his Silver Slugger award. The Tigers star players Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera received there Silver Slugger awards while Cabrera received his American League MVP award. The Tigers also received there American League Championship rings. The Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks have the best records in Major League Baseball with a 4-1 start while there are 6 teams that are off to 1-4 starts. Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is off to a hot and historic start. Davis already has 4 homeruns and 16 RBI’s. Davis’ homerun streak for his first 4 games matches the mark that was previously set by Willie Mays, Mark McGwire and Nelson Cruz. Davis holds the record for the most RBI’s in his first 4 games. There was also a near-perfect game. Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers was one out away from throwing a perfect game against the Houston Astros. I hope that the second week of the baseball season and the rest of the baseball season are as good as the first week of the baseball season.
