In commem- oration of last year’s snowed-out home opener, The Plain Dealer presents Snowball!, a game where you’re the grounds crew, struggling to roll out the tarp before storms turn the field to mush.Leave the tarp out too long, though, and time will run out before the Indians can get in a complete game.

Warning: Sound, but you can mute it on the right. Use the up/down arrow keys to play.
