They have not scheduled a game time for Monday April 8th when they play the Marlins in the first of a three game series to finish their opening homestand.It's their only home game of the season for which a game time has not been announced.I can't imagine that they're worried about people watching the solar eclipse that day-about 90 per cent in NYC-and forget about going to the game.It can't be for TV as the Mets-Braves will probably be the headline game.Is the NCAA Mens BB Championship Game scheduled for that night?
The Cleveland Guardians also lack a game time for that day,their home opener.
The city is going to be mobbed for the eclipse which will be total there and for the Women's BB Championship Game on the 7th.Hotel rooms are going for around a grand a night,suites to the Moon.
If they start the game at around 1PM,the 7th inning stretch will be the eeriest of all time with the eclipse happening at around 3:20 PM.As far as I can ascertain,it will be the first time in USA sports history that a game will be played with an ongoing total eclipse of the Sun.
The Guardians should just make a trade for Sonny Gray and be done with it.
