The Blue Jays first Opening Day starting pitcher was Bill Singer, who received a no decision against the Chicago White Sox.
Dave Lemanczyk has the worst winning percentage as the Opening Day starting pitcher with a record of 0–2, both of which were pitched away from Exhibition Stadium.
In addition, although the Blue Jays were nominally the home team on Opening Day 2001, the game was played in Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.
The Blue Jays and the Cleveland Indians currently hold the record for the longest Opening Day game in Major League history.
They set that record on Opening Day 2012, when Jairo Asencio of the Indians gave up a 3-run home run in the top of the 16th inning to give the Blue Jays the win.
