Earlier this week I posted this article, listing a few Cubs Opening Day starting pitchers who you might not have remembered getting that honor.
Well, the article proved pretty popular, so I thought I’d extend it by noting a few Opening Day position players you might not recall.
Let’s remember some guys!
1981: Ken Reitz
Reitz had been part of the Bruce Sutter trade with the Cardinals, the one that brought Leon Durham to the Cubs. He had a couple of decent seasons for St. Louis in the mid-1970s, but he rarely walked (.290 lifetime OBP) and by the time the Cubs got him, he was pretty much done.

Credit where credit is due I adapted this article idea from this MLB.com article, which lists one “forgotten” Opening Day starting pitcher for each MLB team. You can read that article to find out who that is for the Cubs, but I’m going to include him here as well.
Though it hasn’t been officially announced yet, Kyle Hendricks will almost certainly be the Cubs’ Opening Day starter for the second straight season. But what about others with less acclaim in Cubs history?
