The Los Angeles Dodgers are in Denver to face the Colorado Rockies, and Friday evening’s game could present some challenging weather conditions.
The area is under a freeze warning and there’s a chance for snow, something alien to many Southern Californians.
If history is a guide, the Dodgers should be able to adjust.
When have the Dodgers played in the snow before?
Thirty years ago, the Dodgers faced the Chicago Cubs in the snow and fell 9-4.
That April 5, 1996, game was 34 degrees, but the wind chill dropped to 12.
“The game was played in the nastiest conditions many players had ever endured,” wrote Bob Nightengale, then of the Los Angeles Times.
And what started as a cold game became a cold and wet game, Nightengale detailed.
“And things got worse as the game went along,” he said. “The wind blew harder, rain fell, soon turning to sleet, then finally to snow flurries.”
Nightengale also quoted second baseman Delino DeShields as saying he “saw everything today.”
“I saw some sleet,” he said. “I saw some snow. I saw some rain. The wind was blowing out 1,000 miles per hour. It was that kind of day.”
