Regarding the snow, The Red Sox are playing at Progressive Field today in Cleveland against the Indians, but it could be worse, If it was a home game it would be cancelled with a forecast of 3-6 inches of snow in the Boston area Hotwater
I caught a bit of opening day on the tv between the Mariners and Rangers on my lunch break. I saw "King" Felix plunk the first batter he faced and Prince Fielder called out for catcher's interference by stepping across the plate during a stolen base attempt Needless to say, on Opening Day, some of the players are still in Spring Training Mode.
