In all seriousness though, how does it help to start the season later? Yes, this is the worst postponement parade that I have witnessed (which is not that long), but it's not like the weather is guaranteed to be splendid during, oh, say, hurricane season?

But yeah, climate change is such a hoax ...

If anything, MLB needs more domes. I can't fathom how the Twins, who play right next to the Arctic Circle, were allowed to get rid of theirs.

Also, as has already been said, there is no way for hundreds of games (300?) to be culled from the schedule. Think of all the $45 tickets, $8 bratwursts, and countless ad revenue going to waste... Before the Rob Manfred MLB will lose a single dime, they will sacrifice a few Dominicans to lose toes to frostbite...
I was at 64°N last week, Dawson City, and the weather was better than both Vancouver and Toronto
