Friday Is Shaping Up To Be The Coldest Tigers Opening Day Ever

Tigers opening day is never very warm, but this Friday could set the mark for the coldest opening day ever.

In a perfect twist of fate, my wife actually bought me tickets to Friday's game for our anniversary.  While I LOVE going to baseball games, the last Tigers game we went to was a freezing cold World Series game against the Giants.  I'm beginning to think that I need to only head to Comerica in July.

The coldest opening day in the record books right now happened in 2000, where the first pitch temp was a balmy 36 degrees.  That also happened to be the first ever game at Comerica.

Friday's high is only 37 degrees.  The high . . .

The bigger problem is that the low Thursday night is 23, with snow and gusting wind.  The wind makes 37 feel like death real quick.

Like I said in the beginning of this story, opening day is never warm.  I was just hoping not to be wearing a winter hat and gloves for the first time Ami and I went to opening day.

If the temps get to be too much for us, the good news is that Jacoby's will be sunny and 70 with the game on TV.
