NEW YORK—I sort of assumed we had turned the weather corner when yesterday was so beautiful. Uh, not so much.
According to weather.com, the current wind chill is 39 degrees, and I have no reason not to believe that. The Rays took batting practice on the field, and a few sported those ski-mask things you might remember from the second game of last season up here, when it was 29 and snowing.
With that in mind, let’s think warm thoughts. According to Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg, Tuesday’s home opener is nearly sold out—and might officially reach that designation sometime today. So if you’d like to catch the game and don’t already have tickets, you’d better get on it.
Here are today’s lineups, with both teams’ Opening Day starters back for a second go-round and Melky Cabrera back from his two-game suspension:
Rays
Iwamura 2B
Crawford LF
Pena 1B
Upton CF
Floyd DH
Hinske RF
Aybar 3B
Riggans C
Bartlett SS
Shields P
Yankees
Damon LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
Posada C
Betemit 1B
Cabrera CF
Wang P
