Baseball Playoffs, Schedule Could Be Impacted by Hurricane

The playoff races aren’t over yet, but the schedule could get a bit more complicated with something completely out of the hands of all parties involved: a hurricane.

In this case, the concerns are strictly for the East Coast of the US, but all interests from roughly South Carolina through the maritime provinces of Canada should be watching the progress of Hurricane Joaqin very closely over the next several days.

As of this morning, Joaqin sits just to the East of the Bahamas. It is expected to thrash around down there for another 48 hours or so before a high-pressure ridge to its north moves out of the way and allows the storm to escape.
