The Cleveland Indians, beset by cold and and snowy weather in Cleveland, will play a three-game series at Miller Park against the Los Angeles Angels beginning Tuesday, an Indians official said Monday.
The nasty weather wiped out the Seattle Mariners and the Cleveland Indians for the fourth straight day, causing the teams to postpone Monday's scheduled doubleheader.
To say the least, a three-game series in Milwaukee in April, and involving the Indians and the Angels, is a little unusual.
"I got a call from Cleveland this morning asking if it would be possible to play there," said Mike Duckett, the executive director of the Miller Park stadium district. "I said yes."
Officials at the Milwaukee Brewers did not immediately return a phone call.
Cleveland still has not played an official home opener.
No details were immediately available on how tickets to the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday series will be sold.
"We'll have another opening day," Duckett said. "We'll have the heat on and the roof closed."
Baseball fans will remember that Milwaukee stood in for Cleveland for the movie, "Major League."
