Playoff & World Series Games To Be Played In Full…

by Anthony Amobi

After the potential debacle that could have happened during the World Series, Bud Selig this week amended a critical rule…

From the Sports Digest: Commissioner Bud Selig announced that baseball will change its rules so that playoff games cannot be shortened because of bad weather. Selig said the change also will apply to tiebreaker games that decide division titles and wild-card berths.

Under current rules, games are official as soon as the trailing team has made 15 outs. During World Series Game 5 between Tampa Bay and Philadelphia last month, Selig decided that it wouldn’t be cut short because of pouring rain. Just after the Rays tied it in the top of the sixth, umpires halted play and the game was suspended for 46 hours.

I’m glad this was done for playoffs games, as for the fans and the players on the field, the magnitude of such games are too important to shorten just because of inclement weather.
