What’s the deal with Tyler O’Neill?
The Baltimore Orioles outfielder holds a strange piece of MLB history as the guy almost guaranteed to homer on Opening Day, having done it five times in a row.
This year, opening with a trip to face the Blue Jays, O’Neill did not disappoint, going yard in the third inning for a three-run home run.
It marked his sixth consecutive Opening Day home run, placing O’Neill firmly atop this niche record.
Before him, Yogi Berra, Gary Carter, and Todd Hundley each hit home runs in four consecutive Opening Day games.

The Indiana Pacers certainly didn’t need to go off on Thursday night, considering both the state of the Washington Wizards and the fact that they entered the final period with a more than 30-point lead.
But the Pacers left Capital One Arena with a blowout win and several new franchise records anyway.
The Pacers cruised to a 162-109 win over the Wizards on Thursday in what was a truly dominant outing. Their 162 points were the most scored by any team in the league so far this season, and set a new NBA franchise record for the most points scored in a single game.
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal — the reigning American League Cy Young winner — left one too many fastballs in the middle of the strike zone.
Two-time All-Star Teoscar Hernández made him pay, crushing a first-pitch fastball for a three-run home run in the fifth inning. Fellow stars Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts joined Hernández on his trot around the bases after the biggest swing from the reigning World Series champions.
On Opening Day, Skubal’s middle-middle 97 mph fastball to Hernández made the difference.
Fast Company just released its updated 2025 list of the “world’s most innovative companies,” and it has some, uh, interesting inclusions.
At the top of the list is Waymo, the autonomous, self-driving car company that’s become ubiquitous in some major cities. Sure, that makes sense. Number two is Nvidia, another understandable choice as one of the world’s most valuable companies and a leader in chips and computing applications.
Number three is Nu Bank, a Brazilian-based bank with unique credit card offerings.
