MLB has a fun list of players with the most home runs on Opening Day. The list is pretty typical, other than Adam Dunn and Richie Hebner

  • 8 HR: Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Robinson
  • 7 HR: Eddie Mathews, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds
  • 6 HR: Gary Carter, Richie Hebner, Brooks Robinson, Scott Rolen, Dave Winfield, Carl Yastrzemski
