Enron Field’s first regular-season opener goes much the same way as the Astrodome – a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia

On April 7 , 2000  – Enron Field’s first regular-season opener goes much the same way as the Astrodome – a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia. Craig Biggio leads off the season with a single but it isn’t until Richard Hidalgo homers in the seventh that the sellout crowd has more to cheer. For trivia buffs, Randy Wolf gets to howl as Enron’s first winning pitcher much like Chris Short 35 years before. Philadelphia’s cleanup hitter Scott Rolen hits the first home run in the new ballpark.
