The field and the grandstands were clear of snow, the afternoon was sunny and briskly cold, and the Tigers came ready to play. Only a few hardy souls showed up to watch, and a number of those didn't stay for the entire double-header (myself included). But the Tigers finally got the home opener behind them, and increased their winning percentage from .000 to .250
