Question about the All Star Game

[RhodeyYankee2638]

If tonights home run derby and tommorow nights all star game got rained out, what would they do? Would they move the season back 2 days so they could get it in? That would screw up the entire MLB schedule

I thought Houston had a retractable roof.

hello everyone. my take is if you can let a game that decides home field advantage in the playoffs end in a tie.. i'm sure you can cancel it

I wondered the same thing too Rhodey.

They'd play in the rain. They'd squeeze in the requisite 5 innings. Probably the home run derby would be cancelled...

The derby was cancelled in 88 due to rain.

when the game ended in a tie it didn't count towards the world series. in fact the whole "now it counts" thing was done partly because of the tie.

They'd cancel the game.

They'd flip Bud Selig for home field advantage.

Bud's head - AL

Bud's tail - NL
