Welcome to Opening American soil Opening Day Night!
The defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals venture into the dark and damp realm of Miami to play the Florida Miami Marlins at a baseball game that counts in the Regular Season standings and stat books and not in the Grapefruit or Cactus League standings and stat books. Lineups!

| Rafael Furcal SS | Jose Reyes SS | |
| Carlos Beltran RF | Emilio Bonifacio CF | |
| Matt Holliday LF | Hanley Ramirez 3B | |
| Lance Berkman 1B | Mike Stanton RF | |

These two teams kick off (again) the Major League season and open up the Marlins' new park of baseball with tonight's first game of a... one game series? Seriously? Miami travels to Cincinnati tomorrow? And the Cardinals go to Milwaukee on Friday? What the flying fudgsicles, baseball?
