For the first time in its storied history, America's Major League Baseball World Series has been suspended due to weather. This further postpones the conclusion of a championship journey for two of baseball's historically worst franchises. The rain delayed Game 5 has now been tentatively scheduled to conclude Wednesday, October 29 at 8:37 PM Eastern time. It will pick up in the bottom of the sixth inning with the score knotted at 2 runs apiece.

Imagine that IOC President Jacques Rogge had showed up at the Water Cube in Beijing and ordered Michael Phelps out of the water. Imagine that PGA put a ban on Tiger Woods. That sort of thing happened in microcosm in a youth baseball league in New Haven, Connecticut. It seems that nine-year-old Jericho Scott is too good to be playing with the rest of the kids in the league.

The long-suffering fans of Philadelphia are about to witness athletic history. Not in spite of a long and inglorious history of failure and mediocrity, but really because of it - the Philadelphia Phillies are about to achieve a dubious record.
