The at-bat itself wasn't much. The rookie catcher flied out to right in the second inning against the Detroit Tigers. It turned into a double play when Melvin Mora attempted to tag from second. But what was memorable about this was the hype that was created. Wieters, perhaps the most heralded prospect in club history, created so much buzz on his debut that approximately 10,000 people bought tickets after it was announced he would be playing that Friday. In fact, the announcement was made by club president Andy MacPhail during a MASN telecast days earlier. When Wieters stepped to the plate in the second inning, the ovation was deafening. He went hitless in the game.
