WHITECAPS RELEASE ACTION-PACKED 2004 SCHEDULE
Even though the baseball season has just ended, the action is just beginning for the West Michigan Whitecaps. Today, the team announced their 2004 schedule with the home opener set for Friday, April 16 at 6:35 p.m vs. the Battle Creek Yankees. The team opens the regular season on the road against the Dayton Dragons Thursday, April 8.

In conjunction with the Tigers, the West Michigan Whitecaps announced today that Matt Walbeck will go from behind the plate into the Whitecaps dugout as the sixth manager in the team's 11-year history.

Baseball is starting later next year. Maybe the snow and ice taught them a lesson.
