CBS News Sacramento spoke with Ports pitcher Grant Richardson, who has been playing baseball since he was four and was drafted by the A's organization last summer. Richardson said he's been most excited about the fans supporting them after they've been working all spring.
Richardson and teammate pitcher Cory Braun greeted fans at Banner Island Ballpark — the team's home filled with rich history, where Ernest Thayer is said to have drawn inspiration for the poem "Casey at the Bat."
For fans, opening night is about more than baseball — it's tradition.
"Opening night for the Ports, we're super excited," said Brian Uchytil. "A's left to Vegas, we got the Ports now… we love coming to Stockton."
"There's not a bad seat in the house," she said.
For others, the moment carries a deeper meaning.
Morris says his son's passion for baseball started early — choosing MLB games over cartoons — and now, he's watching that dedication pay off.
"It's beautiful," Morris said. "It's what I wanted to do, but he's doing it at a higher level… even better."
