How do you make your own baseball? what materials do you need?
All I remember is that that my Red Sox were in second place and playing the Yankees. I was actually in New York that weekend visiting a friend. I came back to Massachusetts on the 10th pissed off, because my Sox got their asses kicked by the Yankees. Man, how irrelevant was that a day later.Is it just me or did Red Sox Management blow 100 Million-plus on Daisuke?
The games were delayed until the following Monday, Sep 17.The link below gives the standings.
When baseball bean again, the Yankees were to have been on the road, but the Mets were to have been at home. However, the Mets had given permission for their parking lots to be used as staging areas for shipping supplies to the rescue/recovery workers, and that first series was moved to Pittsburgh.
The week's worth of games that had been postponed were tacked on to the end of the season, so instead of ending September 30, it ended Oct 7. That year's World Series went 7 games, and game 7 was played NOVEMBER 4.

The entire season was delayed one week. The logistics of the baseball season typically have Monday or Thursday as off days, when needed, with three or four game series played as (Mon-Wed), (Mon-Thur), (Thur-Sun), or (Fri-Sun); there are variations, but most series fit these basic schedules.
Monday, 10-September had six games: one series finishing (White Sox @ Indians) and five others beginning (it's not unusual for Monday to have a light schedule). The games that would have been played between 11-Sept and Sunday 16-Sept were rescheduled to the end of the season and played on Oct 2-7 (Tues-Sun). Every team played its full 162-game schedule (the Red Sox and Yankees played 161, a rainout that wasn't needed replayed for final standings). The postseason started on Tuesday 09-October, and the World Series (which went seven games) ended on Sunday 04-November, the latest official MLB game ever.
