Lots of future Huskies on here…
#9 isn’t too shabby. Although he won’t be a Husky, he’s still a UConn fan.

Not to be greedy, but let’s get Rembish! Any idea where he’s looking?

Good news, considering it's going to be 20 below zero in parts of Maine tonight/tomorrow morning. Opening day can't come too soon.

There have been a few times since I have been following UConn baseball that there has been a snow storm in Connecticut on the opening weekend. Listening to the games being played down south combined with moving the snow around makes for an interesting combination. We will see what happens this time around.

Great honor but you would think they could find a cooler place to play than Phoenix in July.

Retractable roof which stays closed during the summer ever since they changed to synthetic turf a few years ago. Temperature at Chase Field will be fine but enjoy the dry heat outside of Chase Field.
