Not a rain outs but...

 

Several years back my company goes to an evening affair versus the Yankees. Weather stinks all night with at least one long delay. A few of us stick around and finally, the bottom of the ninth comes. Rivera is on to hold a one run lead for the yankees. Carlos Lee comes up and I say "how about you greet your countryman with a solo shot" next pitch, tie game. Sox get a runner in scoring position and Jose Valentin fists one the opposite way down the LF line to drive in the winning run.

 

That was 2000, no? I remember watching that game on TV.

it was 2008, i think april, and jose contreras was scheduled to go up against some no name cuban with the twinkies, and I was going to sit down and enjoy joe crede hitting for the cycle and alexei ramirez constantly running around the bases. and then bam, storm, game post poned. Ever since i haven't been the same.

 

I feel for you, even if no one else does. Did you get wet?

There is a good chance that is the case. Great time.

I worked for the local A ball team here in concessions for a couple weeks about 12 years ago.

 

The entire 2 weeks I was there, it rained every damn day.

We would show up early, cook the food, prep everything and then they'd cancel the game. I drove 10 miles each way for two weeks and wasted my evenings for like 2 hours worth of work at $5.50 an hour.

White Sox @ Yankees, when I was about 13, so around '99. The Sox were winning and Big Frank had 2 homers and it was delayed and 2 hours later called.
