Phillies Nation Perfect Season: Rollins hits 200th career home run

Every day until Opening Day arrives, Phillies Nation will take a daily look back at a regular season victory from that particular day in history that you can watch in full in lieu of live Phillies baseball. Think of it is as your daily Phillies watch recommendation.

Opening Day 2014 was a bit of anomaly: it was the first time the team ever began a season in an American League ballpark. They scored 14 runs, the most since 1900. Despite Cliff Lee’s struggles, the Phillies were able to hang on and beat the Texas Rangers in Arlington. Jimmy Rollins notched his 200th career home run, a grand slam in the second inning to give the Phillies a 6-0 lead.
