If ever there was a sport where the phrase “fair-weather fan” comes into play, it’s baseball.
Especially in West Virginia.
Folks are interested in supporting their teams, sure. But, um, it was 46 degrees at game time for Tuesday’s WVU-Marshall showdown, won by the Mountaineers 5-4 in 10 innings. Most of the seating was in the shade at Appalachian Power Park.
Lots of seats were available.
Soon, though, the weather will improve. WVU coach Randy Mazey is hoping his team will as well.
Until this past weekend, there were clouds over the Mountaineer season.
