4.6.07 Seattle @ Cleveland { 10 images } Created 7 Apr 2007
An Opening Day that will talked about in Cleveland for years.
Several snow delays, Paul Byrd pitching a no-hitter and manager Mike Hargrove coming back to Jacobs Field to get the last laugh.
With the Mariners down to their last strike in the top of the fifth inning and trailing 4-0, Hargrove (whose nickname was The Human Rain Delay during his playing days for the Tribe) called timeout to tell the umpires his batters could not see the ball.
Cleveland manager Eric Wedge came out to argue, but in the end, Grover got his way and the game went into delay for the third time.
After more than an hour of delay, umpires called the game.
