It was much warmer than NY. Now, this may seem an anomaly, but people there said it was not really unusual.

Any city that wants the San Francisco Giants to play there deserves them.

Ok, folks. everyone take a deep breath and laugh. Up here in toronto, we've been assailed with articles from american papers refering to the freezing weather in toronto. On article (from the washington post !) went so far as to protest major league baseball north of the 49'th parallel (there is no team north of the 49'th parallel). SO, when I say the snow in Denver, I laughed, and thought that others would to. Sorry, denver. You're a lovely city, i'm sure. And it's warm there. Remember, always assume the smile (I'll never forget to add mine again) Jim Sullivan (-:-) (beneath the 49'th)

Just for the record, when the Broncos beat Seattle in overtime (my one chance to laugh at the Seattle fans: HAHAHAHAHA!) yesterday, it was 75 degrees and sunny in Denver. Perfect baseball weather.
