Ah, that cold starting temperature reminds me that I was there for the 2008 Home Opener, too; got to see Kerry's debut as the closer (which sucked) and the debut of Fukudome (which ruled), who briefly fulfilled all of the lofty Ichiro meets Matsui hyperbole by going 3-3 with a walk and a game-tying dong in the 9th. It was as cold as you expect a March 21st game in Chicago to be, but it was horsefeathering damp and rainy and grey all day, so it was the kind of wet cold that just cuts to the bone. We all signed up for multiple junk mail accounts with the Bank of America reps around the park just to get the free blankets they were giving out.
