NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees are pushing back the start time for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins due to the solar eclipse.
The game was scheduled to begin at 2:05 p.m., but the Yankees said Thursday that after "reconsidering the challenges of playing through Monday's solar eclipse, including potential in-game delays," the league and the team decided to reschedule the game to 6:05 p.m.
Gates will open at 3 p.m.
The first 15,000 guests will receive a special Yankees solar eclipse t-shirt.
The eclipse is expected to peak at 3:25 p.
