The stuff hits the fans, again

Here’s a question for the poobahs the run Major League Baseball.

The Phillies are kicking off the regular season Friday against the Houston Astros. You know, as in Houston, Texas.

The temperature today in Houston is expected to be 76. Tomorrow it will climb into the mid-80s.

Today in Philadelphia the high will be 44 degrees with a cold rain.
Tomorrow, Opening Day, will feature much the same only with a chance of wet snow as well.

So where are the two teams playing? Why, Citizens Bank Park of course.

I don’t get it. Why is this series not being played in Houston? In fact, why does baseball not schedule at least the first week of games in warm-weather cities.

Instead, there will be 44,000 diehard Phillies fans freezing their fannies off in brutal conditions. That’s if they get the game in at all.

If Major League Baseball gave a damn about its fans, they wouldn’t subject them to these kinds of conditions.
