However, the weather is refusing to accommodate baseball fans; home openers for the Chicago White Sox (BTSports) and Boston Red Sox (MLB.com) have already been pushed back a day, while fans elsewhere were forced to bundle up if they wanted to enjoy one of the rites of springs.

@LMDeaton braved the elements to watch the hometown Cincinnati Reds take on the New York Mets.
