Weather often gets in the way of summer baseball games and that was the case once again in Baltimore ahead of the AL East rivalry tilt between the Orioles and the Yankees.
However, the scenes from Camden Yards on Friday showed something above and beyond the usual July storm.
A photo taken by Orioles reporter Melanie Newman showed dark, swirling clouds in the skies right above the stadium shortly after the game was scheduled to get underway at 7:05 p.m. ET. Needless to say, given the ominous scenes and the inclement weather forecast, first pitch was delayed and remained that way for more than two hours.
