Hurricane Irene is moving northward along the Atlantic coast of the USA and will soon reach the large cities of the northeast. In anticipation of this major storm and its rain and wind, the following major league baseball games have been postponed and rescheduled:
Hurricane Irene Baseball Postponements Wrapup
- The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday have both been postponed and rescheduled as a doubleheader on Thursday, Sept. 8. If you have a Saturday ticket, it will be honored for the doubleheader; if you have a Sunday ticket, check the Mets website for further information. Mets manager Terry Collins says he doubts the Mets will be able to play even on Monday.
- The Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins game scheduled for Sunday was moved to Saturday afternoon as part of a day-night doubleheader — but then the regularly scheduled night game Saturday was postponed. Tickets for Sunday’s game will be honored at the 1:05 p.m. ET Saturday game. Tickets for Saturday night’s game will be good for the makeup date for that game, Sept. 15 (time TBD). Confused? Here’s more information from the Phillies website.
- In Baltimore, the Orioles and New York Yankees had been scheduled to play a day/night doubleheader Saturday, with one game as a makeup for a rainout on April 22. Both of those games have been postponed. The night game will be made up on Sunday at 7:35 p.m. ET; Saturday tickets will be honored for that game. The day game will be made up on Sept. 8 (time TBD); tickets dated April 22 or Aug. 27 at 1:05 will be honored for that game. Confused again? Here’s more from the Orioles website.
- The Boston Red Sox/Oakland Athletics game scheduled for Sunday will now be played at 5 p.m. ET today, Saturday, as part of a split-admission doubleheader. The originally scheduled day game at Fenway Park on Saturday will begin at noon ET. Tickets with Saturday’s date will be honored for that game; tickets for Sunday will be honored at the 5 p.m. game.
