Defending JIM Champs Open at Cincinnati
The defending Joy in Mudville League champion Houston Astros open their season at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium against the Reds.
Cincinnati traditionally opens JIM play since the 1869 Red Stockings were baseball's first professional team.
This year's Reds will send right-hander Gary Nolan to the mound. Houston starts last season's NL Cy Young winner Frank Tanana.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers host the New York Yankees in the American League opener.
The rest of the JIM teams will play Thursday.
Diamond JIM Notes: Milwaukee will begin the season without rookie sensation Gary Templeton at short. The 20-year-old will start the season on the disabled list with what's be described as a serious case of the flu . . . Former Baltimore pitcher Ken Holtzman returns to the Chicago Cubs, the team that traded him to the Orioles in 1971. Holtzman won 94 games in an Orioles' uniform. Holtzman, Tom Seaver, Jon Matlack and Nolan Ryan were a combined 401-142 in just over four full seasons together as the Baltimore starting rotation . . . Right-hander Mark "The Bird" Fidrych makes his much anticipated debut Thursday as his California Angels host defending AL West winner Oakland . . .St. Louis catcher Ted Simmons may be ready to play sooner than expected. Simmons fractured a hand during spring training . . . For the first time in JIM history a number of teams are experimenting with a five-man rotation.
