Baseball Almanac presents a comprehensive chart illustrating the percentage of Opening Day games won by National League teams. Chart note: Includes previous franchise data and is current through date listed.

"I've always said you've never played in the major leagues unless you've played in Cincinnati. It is the very best place a player could ever play. Why? Because of the people. This is their team, I don't care it comes from all over, West Virginia, Ohio, it comes from Indiana, Kentucky and they are all Reds fans." - Cincinnati Reds Manager (1970-1978) Sparky Anderson on Opening Day 2003 (Cincinnati.com, 03/31/2003)
