Bill Singer recorded the first save in MLB history on Opening Day of the 1969 season against the Cincinnati Reds. He spun three hitless innings to secure the save, making it his only save and relief appearance of the season.
In 1977, the Dodgers shifted their home opener to the afternoon and invited Frank Sinatra to sing the National Anthem, fulfilling a promise made to Tommy Lasorda, who also managed his first game on April 7.
