I made a mistake and forgot to publish this last week, so I’m publishing it this week.

The 2018 Baseball Season is just a week old. The Colorado Rockies have been on the road in Arizona and San Diego for the week and has a record of four wins and three losses.

Those of us in Colorado have been looking forward to the home opener. A sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 fans have tickets to the game including myself and my husband. At the game last year, the temperature was over 70 degrees.

The weather has been good most of the week. Today it was in the sixties. Tomorrow, at first pitch, the predicted weather will be 35 degrees with snow falling. Along with the snow, the temperature will fall to about 20 by the end of the game. In addition, the accompanying wind will create a wind chill of ten to fifteen degrees lower than actual temp.

Most fans still plan to attend with plenty of cold weather gear. In 25 years of existence, the Rockies have never canceled a home opener and do hold the record for the coldest home opener.

The big question is will they set a new record this year or will they have their first postponed home opener? Since this is published a week late, I’ll tell you they did play the home opener game. Unfortunately they lost. We got to Coors Field early for the opening day festivities and then the game was delayed due to weather. The temperture at first pitch was 27 degrees. We didn’t stay for the whole game because after being at the ball field four and a half hours in the cold, I wimped out and said “Let’s go home.”
