Coming back from Florida and stepping off the plane into 30 degree weather reminded me of early spring games and playing in cold weather. There's nothing worse than playing in cold weather. The walk to the locker room in your jacket and jeans is deceiving and you think it's not that bad but then after you change into your uniform and get outside and step outside and you already know it's going to be a miserable day. I can't stand wearing Under Armour cold gear because it's so tight it makes it tough to breathe and it's not even that warm. Sleeves don't make a difference in 40 degree weather. You can't feel your fingers while playing so throwing is harder and hitting a ball on the barrel even stings hitter's hands. Sitting on the bench is even worse. You don't move much and the bench never seemed so cold. No one wants to play or watch baseball in cold weather. My suggestion is to move the season back a month and it would help avoid playing in miserable weather.
