The Masahiro Tanaka era is under way.

On Friday night, the 25-year-old Japanese pitcher made his highly anticipated Major League debut, taking the mound for the Yankees against the Blue Jays in their home opener.

The best part about playing fantasy baseball is that you get to be the general manager of your own personal MLB team. That's the job that everybody wants, but that only 30 individuals can actually have at any given time.

Updates from Saturday, April 5

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported the latest on New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira:

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera recorded career hit No. 2,000 in predictably stylish fashion Friday, hitting a two-run homer to reach the milestone.

Cabrera entered Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles with 1,996 hits, just four short of 2,000.

It took two extra-inning games, but the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs twice in their first three games of the 2014 regular season.

The first start of Masahiro Tanaka's career with the New York Yankees is officially in the books at the Rogers Centre. After two rocky innings, Tanaka settled down and dominated a talented Blue Jays lineup over seven innings. 

Aside from the scoreless innings and pitch-by-pitch execution, two things stood out about Tanaka's first performance: poise and command.

There has been a lot of debate in recent years about whether professional sports teams should change their Native American nicknames and logos.

The Cleveland Indians have been phasing out their Chief Wahoo logo in recent seasons, but some fans have continued to dress up in its likeness.
