Surprise mid-April snow coats Coors Field as Dodgers-Rockies series gets off to frosty start‎

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies were greeted by 3 inches of snow that surprisingly blanketed Coors Field as their four-game series got off to a frigid start Friday. Dodgers pitcher Emmett Sheehan took advantage of the frosty mid-April day when he came out on the field in shorts to make a snowman about four hours before the game's scheduled first pitch. The snow stopped about three hours before the game began and Colorado’s grounds crew, which placed a tarp over the infield to shield it from the snowfall, used a plow to clear snow from the outfield.
