Yeah, I can remember when the local minor league team had it’s first ever game here about 10 years ago. It was in the low forties and was spitting snow and rain. The first few weeks of baseball can be brutal up here in Michigan. Got to see Beltran play that night, for the first time, if i remember correctly.

Considering the jacket the base runner is wearing in the Brooks card I was thinking it must have been an early April home game in Montreal. Those early spring games in Canada must be brutal. I was once at a game in Toronto in mid-June. The temperature was about 55. Everybody in the stands were wearing shorts and teeshirts. My Texas blood wasn’t keeping me warm. I asked someone about the attire and he said it was the first warm day they’d had all year.

I might be wrong here, but in the Hubie Brooks card (#555) there is a dude on the way to ‘a night in town’ wearing his favorite Denim and Jacket sliding to 2nd base (?)
