The very first major league game was on Thursday, May 4, 1871 between the Cleveland Forest Citys and the Fort Wayne Kekiongas. The game was held at Fort Wayne, meaning the leadoff hitter for Cleveland that day, Catcher Deacon White, was the first batter, and the nine men on the field were the first fielders. The starter for Fort Wayne that day was Bobby Mathews, so he made the first pitch in MLB history.
