The thing I remember most about this day at Wrigley Field was the cold. The boxscore says these were the game-time weather conditions:
37° F, Wind 10mph in from Rightfield, Cloudy, No Precipitation.
Sounds about right. That computes to a wind chill of 29°, but I can tell you with no sunshine it felt colder, impossible to get warm in the bleachers that day. Imagine how hitters felt.
The Cubs had been swept on a six-game season-opening road trip to Miami and Atlanta, and then lost the home opener to the Marlins.
