By now, most of us have heard the news of the upcoming rapture that is to occur at 6:00 pm (EDT) today. As a Cincinnati Reds fan, I can see that this increases the likelihood that the Reds may not win the NL Central title. Fortunately for the Reds, the Cardinals have an afternoon game, but must lose. Unfortunately, the Reds game starts at 4:05 pm, thus unlikely the game would be completed by 6:00 pm.
As a baseball fan, I am disappointed that MLB has yet to issue a public statement around the event. With that in mind, here are some of my questions/concerns.
If a game is in progress, what happens if neither team has enough players to complete the game?
If the pitcher is raptured, thus leave the game without an injury, will the replacement pitcher get unlimited time to warm up?
Will MLB replace the Angels franchise? After all, all of them automatically qualify for rapture.
If all the umpires are gone, to whom does a manage file a protest regarding the outcome of the play in action at the time?
Are ticket holders entitled to refunds?
Will ESPN continue broadcasting Sunday Night Baseball?
Will MLB George Steinbrenner be able to resume ownership of the Yankees?
If the rapture is accompanied by hell freezing over, will MLB reinstate Pete Rose?
So, what questions do you have?
