I took a late night train home yesterday evening and met a friend who was at the game. It turned out DICE-K and old rivals wasn't the story, Felix Hernandez was. From the first pitch he reminded me of Dwight Gooden.The New York Times coverage was excellent, featuring Hernandez, rightfully so! view link
What is remarkable about this coverage is the photograph was taken by Matt Campbell/European Pressphoto Agency, and the report filed by Jack Curry, with Norimitsu Onishi contributed reporting from Tokyo.
The photographs of Dice-K's debut tell quite a story. You can find some excellent ones here

Actually, my friend appears in quite a few of the pictures.
