In what I believe was a first \u2013 the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox planned to play a weekday night game at Wrigley Field Tuesday night. However, with a heavy rain coming down and no letup in sight, the Cubs postponed the game 10 minutes after the scheduled first pitch. <\/p>\n
No makeup date has been announced, but I am hoping they will play a day-night Crosstown doubleheader the weekend of June 26th, 27th or 28th when they could play an afternoon game at Wrigley Field and play a night game at U.S. Cellular Field. Precedence has been set for a Crosstown doubleheader as the New York Mets and New York Yankees have played one three times on:<\/p>\n
1) July 8, 2000 \u2013 day game at Shea Stadium, night game at Yankee Stadium
2) June 28, 2003 \u2013 day game at Yankee Stadium, night game at Shea Stadium
3) June 27, 2008 \u2013 day game at Yankee Stadium, night game at Shea Stadium<\/p>\n
There has been a lot of rain in Chicago this spring. I have attended two White Sox games that were re-scheduled because of rain, two Cubs rain-shortened games, and this was the third postponed game I have attended this season \u2013 tying my postponed game record of 2002 and 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
