The Northeast weather this time of year always is ridiculous. When I used to go to a lot of games and I had the Saturday plan I usually preferred not going to the beginning of the year games. Always cold and not enjoyable. A week or so ago we're getting 80 degree days. Now we won't crack 50 for ten days and they're talking snow.
Tomorrow we go to Detroit for a rare Friday afternoon game, hopefully the weather is better there.
2:15 PM and very heavy rains falling, no way this game gets played today.
Ya'll don't think they can get in a 7-8pm game???
The Northeast, and North-Midwest to West has been much colder than norm the last few years, especially last year, when numer areas, got more snowpack, more days below Zero, and below Freezing 32 deg's, than any year on record, breaking some old 1910s decade of freezing temps....
IF MLB is going to continue beginning their season on April 1st, and begin extended Playoffs thru October, were begging for a Snow Out World Series, even LCS Series, one year; and I don't care for Domed Stadiums....
Several MLB games & cities over the Years, have been snowed out.... ie, NYY and NYM's, Colorado, Cleveland, Detroit, with the Cubs playing a few games over the years in snow flurries.
other Teams would of had "snow outs" in years past, had they not of had Domed Stadiums, ie earlier Twinkies, Brewers, Seattle, ....
I'd like to see either:
1- Lose the WC-WC 1 game set-
2- Start the Season on the 2nd Monday of April-
3- Play more double-headers, even with 154 game schedule, and even more if the League remains with a 162 game schedule.(But not 19 Double-headers as was customary for the 60s; that is too many Double-headers, or is it?) Only the players could say for sure....?
In 1961 The Yanx first game of the Season was April 11th, with 22 double-headers, (way too many DH's imo), with 3 of those DH's make up games, due to in-climate weather....
M weather update. The rain has stopped & it actually looks like the sun is trying to break through but it is very windy. Stay tuned.
