The two starting pitchers for the first game at Enron field was, Yankees Pitcher and 7 Cy young winner Roger Clemens who faced against the Astros Dwight Gooden. It was some what of a rematch of the 1986 All-Star game in Houston in which the two hurlers faced each other.

Enron Field
March 30th, 2000 found the Yankees at Enron Field in Houston, set to play the inaugural exhibition game at the new retractable-roof dome against the Astros. When the Astrodome first opened in 1965, the Astros had also faced the Yankees for an exhibition game to open their new stadium. Back on April 9, 1965, in that game, Mickey Mantle became the first player ever to hit a home run in the Dome. On March 30,2000, Ricky Ledee pinch hitting for Clemens, promptly hit the first home run to leave Enron Field.

There were baseballs given away at the official opening day of Enron Field on April 7, 2000. There were also souvenir baseballs sold at the stadium but not marked with a date as the baseballs given away, and did not come in a box. The Inaugural baseballs only sell for about $7.-$15. each. I saw one auction where both an Enron Field Baseball cap, and the baseball together sold for $6.99 I guess it's time as a collectible has not arrived as of yet. The baseball cap was given away at a game played on March 30, 2000, and I have heard that a baseball was also given away as well, but I do not know the details of the baseball. The game was an exhibition game played between the Astros and the Yankees, and was the very first game played at the stadium. Roger Clemens started for the Yankees, and Dwight Gooden was the pitcher for the Astros.
