 Welcome back to the ballpark, everybody. Gorgeous day for baseball. 88 degrees at game time when just barely a little zephyr going out of the southeast, three to eight miles an hour. Umpires have assembled at home plate for an exchange of the light-ups. Behind the plate, Mike Estabrook. At first base, Eric Backus, Laz Diaz at second, and Tripp Gibson will umpire at third.
