Note: Rain, Double-Headers and Tie-Breakers
By the way, it has been raining in New York City, hard, for roughly the last 14 hours, and the weather report for tonight does not look to be any better, calling for Rain, Wind and Thunderstorms through Sunday afternoon.
In other words, this is going to be a crazy, wet and jittery weekend at Shea Stadium.
If tonight’s game is rained out it will most likely have to be made up as part of a double header on Saturday. However, whether it will be a split-admission or one-ticket event is up to the Player’s Union, and not the two teams and the league at this point.
Now, if Saturday’s game or games are rained out, it will likely be made up on Sunday as a double header with the Shea Stadium farewell possibly occurring between the two games – not after as originally scheduled. I have to assume the second game from Saturday would get moved to Monday, should it be necessary.
I have no idea what happens if all three games are rained out, not to mention a potential tie in the standings for the variety of playoff scenarios.
