We’re watching Tropical Storm Fay move into southern Florida today, and evacuations are presently underway for non residents. Fortunately, the Florida Marlins are playing in San Francisco, so none of the games will have to be postponed. This time.
Every year, sometimes more than once, a tropical storm or hurricane will make landfall in Florida, many times making it impossible to play baseball in Miami or making it unsafe to travel in Tampa. Instead of having to rework the schedule around something that you know is going to happen anyways, why not just schedule all of Florida and Tampa’s game on the road in September? Even teams like the Astros should consider locking into a road heavy schedule late in the season. I don’t understand why nobody has presented this idea before. To me, it seems dumb that this isn’t even on the table.
