This was the major league opener and the opener for Marlins Park. Both teams had undergone serious roster changes in the offseason, the defending champ Cardinals losing Albert Pujols while the Marlins hired Ozzie Guillen, pursued Pujols hard before spending their money on Jose Reyes and Mark Buerhle, and generally tossed off those disturbing (at least for Indians fans) 1997 vibes.
Thankfully that did not to come fruition, not on opening night and not during the season. Postseason hero David Freese picked up where he left off by driving in two with two outs in the first, and the Cards led 3-0 most of the game as Kyle Lohse no-hit the Marlins through six, broken up by Jose Reyes.
