Trivia
  • David Bell hit the first inside-the-park home run at then-Jacobs Field in the bottom of the first inning against Seattle's Randy Johnson. Two innings later Johnson threw two pitches at Kenny Lofton's head and touched off a benches-clearing brawl, after which Johnson, Lofton and Indians catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. were ejected from the game.
  • The first no-hitter was thrown 17 years after the park opened, the longest gap among active parks in which a no-hitter has been thrown. Interestingly, Cleveland's League Park boasts the longest gap--21 years--among inactive parks in which a no-hitter was thrown.
  • Washington's Griffith Stadium went 20 years before the first no-hitter was thrown and Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium went 19 years.
  • When Larry Barnett served as the home plate umpire in this game, he became the only ump to be behind the plate for the openings of two active parks (Orioles v. CLE at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on 4/6/1992).
