Game 1: Curtain Call
| Monday, March 31st, 2008 |
Following a spring training full of questions, Kosuke Fukudome finished game one with no questions to be asked. Kosuke Fukudome went 3-3 with a game tying home run in the bottom of the 9th inning against Eric Gagne. Kosuke also had a single, double, and walked once.
On a day the rest of the Chicago Cubs struggled, zero hits through the first 8 innings, Kosuke Fukudome shined. During spring training he hit under .225, which received many questions from fans and reporters about his true abilities, but on opening day, Kosuke Fukudome has silenced also those questions.
Kosuke Fukudome’s performance stood out on a gloomy, depressing opening day for the Cubbies. The game was delayed twice: first to start of the game, and again during the game. Kosuke Fukudome was by far the Chicago Cubs opening day player of the game.
