In the 2025 Opening Day, the Yankees secured a 4-2 victory over the Brewers, highlighted by Anthony Volpe's solo homer. Yankees' manager Aaron Boone cautioned against overreacting to the opening game's outcome, indicating that early season success or struggles often leads to inflated expectations or undue criticism. Historical data show no direct link between an Opening Day win and a team's ultimate performance, with the Mets holding the highest Opening Day winning percentage, despite their long championship drought since 1986.
"Where we get off to a really good start and we're going to win the World Series. We get off to a tough start this week, and it's well, you know, you want to get rid of that noise."
"Yet, there is no correlation between beginning well and ending that way. Heading into 2025, the best Opening Day winning percentage belonged to the Mets, last champions in 1986."
