Why is tomorrow's game a day game?
The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur begins at sunset on Sept. 25, and the White Sox are the first team to move the start of the Tuesday game to accommodate Jewish fans. Originally scheduled to start at 7:10 p.m., the game between the White Sox and Indians will start at 1:10 p.m.
The decision keeps one of the game's most prominent Jewish players, Chicago's Kevin Youkilis, from having to decide whether he would play on Yom Kippur. Last year, Yom Kippur began on Oct. 7 and there were questions of whether he would play. When asked last July by the JewishJournal.com, Youkilis said, "I've never played on Yom Kippur. Hopefully, if we were playing it would be a night game, not a day game." The Red Sox, of course, weren't playing on Oct. 7 last year after an epic collapse.
