Flashback Friday: April 8th

*Disclaimer: This will usually be Throwback Thursday, Not Flashback Friday*

April 8, 2003 the Pirates, who were 5-1, played host to the 0-6 Milwaukee Brewers led by manager Ned Yost, the current manager of the Kansas City Royals. It was a meaningless game from the standpoint of the game itself. The Brewers, who went on to 68-94 and finish last in the National League Central, defeated the future fourth place and 75-87 Pirates by the score of 5-3. The afternoon game was an overcast day with 50 degree temperatures, and winds blowing right to left. Not the perfect weather for the home opener, but the typical afternoon game in April.
