The fledgling American League will begin play in Chicago on this day. The Cleveland Blues will open their season with Bill Hoffer on the mound. Hoffer didn't pitch in any professional capacity during the 1900 season. Hoffer, who turned 30 this past November, was quite successful for the Baltimore Orioles of the mid 1890's, notching some 78 victories over three plus seasons. His most recent twirling was done on behalf of the Pittsburg club in 1899, where he compiled an 8-10 record with a 3.63 ERA. The White Sox will send a 24-year old rookie, Roy Patterson, to the mound in their inaugural affair. Patterson is a native of Stoddard, Wisconsin and is thought to be importance to the Chicago clubs success in the 1901 season.
