St. Paul Saints postpone home opener again to Thursday
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The St. Paul Saints have again made the decision to postpone their home opener due to Minnesota's never-ending winter weather.
The opener will now be on Thursday, with first pitch at 3:07 p.m. The Saints made the call to move the game time up earlier in the day to take advantage of the sun.
"Maybe the St. Paul Saints can open their season in Anchorage Alaska, where the feels-like temperature is twice as warm as it is in St. Paul," the Saints quipped.
