According to Chris Russo on WFAN, players on both the Mets and Yankees were told at 6:15 pm Friday evening that the game was going to be postponed. Russo himself found out and had left at 6:50.
Meanwhile the fans were the last to find out, not being told until after the scheduled 7:05 pm start.
How much money was collected by the Yankees in concessions to fans who braved the elements? How about the money from the limited parking?
And what about all the parents with children that sat in the rain while the players they look up to were already getting dressed and on their way home.
Once again we have another example of how the owners and management really don’t give a damn about the fans.
