Cubs postpone home opener due to snow

The Chicago Cubs rescheduled their home opener to Tuesday at Wrigley Field due to frigid temperatures and accumulating snow on Monday.

The only team in the majors yet to play at home this season, the Cubs decided at 11 a.m. on Monday to wait another day to host the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The game was scheduled to be a 1:20 p.m. CT start and was pushed back one hour before snowfall led to the decision to wait until Tuesday.

About six miles south of Wrigley Field at the time the game was called, the Chicago White Sox were warming up to begin a three-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays as flurries covered the stadium seats.
