My first spring training game of the year was the day after the rainstorm that broke the 70-day dry spell. The clouds made for lovely views over the field.
I sat next to enthusiastic Dodgers fans who came from LA for just one day to watch this game. They were thrilled to see their favorite players.

As the end of the game neared, the clouds rolled in.
