The Portland Sea Dogs have declared Friday, April 27th as Opening Day, Again. Seven out of ten Sea Dogs home games this season have been postponed due to bad weather. Looking for a fresh start and convinced that Mother Nature will finally be bringing baseball weather to Maine, the Sea Dogs will host Opening Day, Again, this Friday, April 27th when the Sea Dogs take on the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (Blue Jays) at 6:00 PM at Hadlock Field.

Highlighting Opening Day, Again, will be a post-game fireworks show. The first 2,500 fans to enter the ballpark will receive a 2007 Sea Dogs Schedule magnet courtesy of Paul G. White Tile and a 2007 Promotional Schedule magnet courtesy of AIG. The Sea Dogs will also celebrate the milestone of raising Three Million Dollars for the Maine Children’s Cancer Program through the Strike Out Cancer in Kids Program. This year’s Slugger’s Kid Andrew Cilea will throw-out the ceremonial first-pitch.

Mother Nature has hit Portland hard this season dropping a foot of snow on Opening Day April 5th along with a powerful Nor’easter on April 16th forcing the Sea Dogs to postpone seven out of ten scheduled home games.

Tuesday, May 8th @ 6:00 PM vs. Trenton
