The Indians have a long history, and their top Opening Day starts list has an excellent scattering of eras, from players in the 1900s to 1940s to 1990s. Ace Corey Kluber will make his 4th straight start on MLB Opening Day on Thursday, becoming the 3rd pitcher in Indians organization history to do so. Making the 2019 Opening Day start would tie him with Stan Coveleski for the most consecutive Opening Day starts in team history.
