That's right. Don't say you weren't warned.
Nightly temperatures in the 30s are predicted Saturday through Monday thanks to a cold front sweeping in from Montana.
Highs during the day Saturday before Game 3 will be in the lower 50s, and rain or snow could arrive with the front.Sunday highs will reach the 60s and by Monday the 70s will return.
But each night, by the end of the game, temperatures will be in the 30s.
That's close to record-setting conditions of the Oct. 22, 1997 Game 4 between the Cleveland Indians and Florida Marlins at Jacobs Field in Cleveland. That game went down in the history books as the coldest World Series game ever, with an official game time temperature of 38 degrees — 18 degrees with wind chill. As the game wore on, snow fell, bats broke, and players wore gloves on their throwing hands.
