It wasn't enough to have the Red Sox help open the Yankees season. In a won where everything is larger than life, it was a most fitting tribute that Randy Johnson made his Yankees debut on Opening Night 2005 at Yankee Stadium. Newly acquired, 6-foot10 left Randy Johnson christened the 2005 baseball season on April 3 when he blew away the Red Sox and earned his first win in pinstripes for the Yanks 9-2 win. Hideki Matsui starred at the plate for the Yankees, going 3 for 5 including a home 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. This Opening Day Batters Box Collage includes a pile of dirt from the batters box that evening. The dimensions of this piece are 20.25x17.25, and includes a replica version of the lineup card from that night and a photo of Hideki Matsui.
