History on Hold

Less than 15 minutes before first pitch, and the infield is covered in tarp. The first-ever night game at McKechnie Field, pitting the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds, is in a delay.

Is this the baseball gods trying to tell us something? Chances are the baseball purists - and 85-year-old McKechnie Field is packed with them - aren't too jazzed of the notion of night baseball. Maybe the gods agree.

Night baseball will happen eventually here at McKechnie. Hopefully, it will happen tonight.
