Thats hardly good baseball weather, but still the big ballpark here in the bronx will be jam packed just as it is for every opening day. Were expecting, as you said a moment ago, about 50,000 fans are expected to fill Yankee Stadium for todays wildcard playoff rematch with the astros.

Now, the gates here at the ballpark will open up at 11 00 and opening day ceremonies will begin at 12 30. The yankees, of course, are still in transition from the days of derek jeter and mariano riveira, but fans will also get to celebrate a bit of the past when the 2009 world series mvp hadecki matszui throws out the ceremonial first pitch.
