Baseball fans in New York and Philadelphia will have to wait an extra day for the highly anticipated season openers as rainy forecasts have forced the postponement of the games until Friday.
The New York Mets were set to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. This game was part of the first full slate of Major League Baseball games for the year, following the opening series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea, last week.
Due to the expected wet weather in Queens, the Mets made the decision to reschedule their game to Friday at 1:40 p.m. Similarly, the Philadelphia Phillies had to delay their sold-out home opener against the Atlanta Braves, moving it from Thursday at 3:05 p.m. to Friday at the same time, also due to the anticipated rain.
Baseball enthusiasts will have to exercise patience as they eagerly await the start of the season in these two major cities. The postponements serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of outdoor sports and the impact that weather conditions can have on game schedules.
