Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition
I was at the game. it of course did not start. however at 10 30 it was a drizzle not pouring, I don't know who told you that, but it was untrue. They could have easily played the game.
However when was the last time a game was cancelled due to a forecast. A forecast, I might add that was the same at noon. if it was going to be cancelled due to a forecast, do me a favor and do it at 5 pm so I don't go down and spend a bunch of money to watch nothing. Why keep me there until 9 30 at night before you say, oh well it's postponed to preserve integrity of a 9 inning game. Give me a break. it was postponed because the yanks wanted more rest for cc, had no one else if it was interrupted, and because it's in the media's financial interest to get another game into this series.
We all stood there in disbelief waiting for joe torre to make his decision, and waited over 2 hours looking at a perfectly good baseball field, before it started to drizzle. We played in a drizzle on tuesday for the last two innings, but I guess it's different in game 4. If you ask me the yanks were pushing for the game to be delayed. I finally left downtown around 10 45 and it was barely raining at all.
