Season-opening temperature readings

Matt Moore threw out the real first pitch -- and he hit 95 mph on the stadium gun during the first at-bat -- in 79-degree weather. If you're curious, that ties for the warmest in home-opening history.

2011 79
2010 70
2009 69
2008 79
2007 59
2006 78
2005 66
2004 77

Oh, and Moore hit 96 on the gun to retire the second hitter, Drew Garcia. He hit 94 on the final pitch of the first, in which he struck out the side.
