Another reason I prefer the NFL. I’ve never seen an NFL game have a “rain delay”.

They nixed the Sunday night game for this.

Different games. A pitcher needs to have a consistant motion and landing point in order to do his job. Interfere with that and he risks shoulder or elbow injury which can end a guy’s career or damage his team’s investment. Worse, if he slips and uncorks a 95 mph fastball and clocks the batter then what?

Well, there was one exception: the Dolphins at Steelers Monday night game last season. The field conditions at Heinz Field was HORRIBLE, and the Steelers were lucky to get those three points to win the game!

I have. The last College All-Star vs. Super Bowl Champions game was stopped in the third quarter because over a foot of water was on the field. FWIW, it was totally wicked to watch that game. Games were moved/rescheduled because of Ike and Katrina.

It's rare, but it does happen, although it might be more accurate to call them "weather delays" or cancellations.

I love football, but find baseball boring. Longhorns, Cowboys, that's life.
