Today in Cubs history: Billy Williams walks it off on Opening Day Share this story Getty Images I remember this Cubs/Cardinals game well, as it was the first Opening Day I ever attended, April 6, 1971. It was cold the boxscore says 40 degrees with a 17 mile per hour wind blowing in, but it felt colder, maybe even as cold as last week’s 2021 Cubs/Pirates opener. Seven future Hall of Famers Lou Brock, Joe Torre, Ted Simmons, Ron Santo, Billy Williams and the starting pitchers, Fergie Jenkins and Bob Gibson matched up in this game of ancient division rivals. Both teams also had future Hall of Famers as managers Leo Durocher of the Cubs and Red Schoendienst of the Cardinals.
