With John Smoltz starting the season on the DL, the Atlanta Braves announced that Tim Hudson will be the 2008 game one starter. This will be the 2nd time Hudson has started the first game of the season for the Braves and it will be the 5th time he has done that in his career.

But Huddy has a long way to go if he wants the MLB record in that category. Here are the career leaders for most opening day starts…

Tom Seaver - 16

Steve Carlton - 14

Walter Johnson - 14

Cy Young - 14

Jack Morris - 14

Randy Johnson - 14

*** Walter Johnson holds the record for most opening day wins. The Big Train won the opening game 9 times in his career.
