First time I can remember a baseball game being postponed for intense wildfire smoke and smog...

It was Friday night's Guardians/Pirates game in Cleveland which is now scheduled to be part of  a day/night double-header today/Saturday.

However there are supposed to be a high risk of severe weather today beginning this afternoon, so I would be very surprised if they can get either game completed around the storms.

White Sox had a game in NY postponed for wildfire smoke a couple years ago.

The Seattle Mariners had two entire series moved out of Seattle in September 2020, with two games moved to San Francisco and three more moved to San Diego.

In college football, the "Camp Fire" that tore through Paradise, CA in November 2018 forced the postponement of the Big Game in Berkeley.  Cal and Stanford did make up the game a couple weeks later, the day after the Pac-12 Championship Game was played.

This is 100% a thread that already exists.

It's not back in ancient history either.

Since they can't designate them Interstates 210 and 410, this might be the next best thing.

Also, they will have to complete the upgrade of Business 90 in New Orleans to freeway standards. I imagine that Business 90 will be the last segment to be upgraded.

Maybe we should drop the tunnel talk. If it must continue, move it to Fictional Highways.
