Rainy Weather

There's been quite a bit of wet weather this week. During baseball season, I'd be angry cause games wouldn't be able to be played. During football season, most games will be played in most conditions with the exception of thunder and lightning or natural disasters. There are a few college football games that have either been cancelled or postponed due to Hurricane Florence.
