In the inaugural game for the Angels franchise, Ted Kluszewski and Bob Cerv smashed back to back home runs to help lead Los Angeles to their inaugural Opening Day victory over Baltimore. The homers were given up by Milt Pappas in the top half of the first inning. What a start for a franchise! Kluszewski was a 15-year vet playing in his first and only year with the Angels but the final year of his career. Cerv would only play 18 games with the Angels before being traded back to the Yankees, where he started his career. Pappas didn't make it out of the 2nd before surrendering 6 runs.
