NEW YORK --The New York Yankees asked the commissioner's office to award them a forfeit over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after they failed to arrive in time Monday because of travel problems due to Hurricane Frances. It was a request that had no chance of being granted.
"We decided, and we made the right decision, we'll stick by that decision, to stay with our families," Devil Rays general manager Chuck LaMar said. "We wanted to stay in the Tampa Bay area, wait out the storm with our families."
"They had plenty of time to get here. A little rain never hurt anyone," said Brian Cashman, Yankees general manager.
As if ruining baseball wasn't enough.
