Cold, rainy conditions greet Opening Day

Opening Day is often treated with a measure of romance, but it will be difficult to do so today with low temperatures, rain, and cloudy skies.  The Dodgers are preparing to play the Boston Braves in the first of three at Ebbets Field.  Despite the rain, the game is scheduled to play on time.  Let's check those starting lineups:

The winds whip madly at 'Old Glory' out in centerfield as we prepare to open the season here in Brooklyn.  The grass is wet, but freshly cut.  The fans, bundled up in their winter clothes, welcome another season of Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball.  

The P.A. Announcer Pat Smith will announce today's reserve players and starting lineups right after this!
