Would like to punch the MLB schedule-maker in the nose for scheduling such an early April game in one of the coldest places in the US with an MLB team, but with the way the weather has been so far this spring, it might be almost as chilly in Minneapolis two weeks from tomorrow, or perhaps with an overcast sky and stronger wind or stiffer breeze w/gusts maybe even as cold or colder wind-chill.

Same goes here in SE MI, although the temps here finally have moderated somewhat over this Easter weekend...and it was mostly sunny for a (big) change...March came in like a Lion & out like a lamb....an old saying that still applies...to our NFL team as well...:no:

April 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1942 - Major league owners decide not to allow furloughed players in the military to play for their clubs if based near a game site.

1962 - The Detroit Tigers sign University of Detroit basketball star Dave DeBusschere. He will pitch effectively in 1962 and 1963 with the Chicago White Sox, but will gain much more notoriety as a key member of the New York Knicks' NBA championship teams of 1970 and 1973.

1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch, whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.
