Instead, they'll settle for a tie and end a historic drought instead. In the last 19 seasons, the Giants started 19 different players in left field on Opening Day. According to Sarah Langs , that equals the all-time record set by the St.

Louis Browns/ Baltimore Orioles from 1937-55, which was also in left field. The Giants' streak began in 2007. It will end this week when Heliot Ramos makes his second consecutive start in left field.
