TRIVIA –
Marquis Grissom is the only player to hit the first homer at an active park in extra innings and is only the second one to do it (Bill Bruton: 4/14/1953) in parks that hosted at least 300 games.; Jimmy Rollins is the second player to hit the first inside-the-park home run in two active parks (Fernando Vina); Tim Lincecum was part of two no-hitters in 11 days, including the first one thrown at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.
