The Chicago White Sox announced yesterday that their September 25th home game against the Indians has been moved up from 7:10 p.m. to 1:10 for Yom Kippur.
Though it wasn?t the team?s original intention to move game time up from 7:10 p.m., the White Sox will gain the services of third baseman Kevin Youkilis, who would not have played. The White Sox host the Cleveland Indians in the second of three games on Sept. 25.
Obviously it?s not just for Kevin Youkilis, of course. A lot of observant fans wouldn?t be able to watch or attend the game if it started after sundown that day either.
This is not unprecedented, of course. Off the top of my head I recall a couple of years ago that ESPN agreed to let the Yankees and Red Sox move what would have been a Sunday Night Baseball game to a day game on Yom Kippur, despite the fact that ESPN had contractual rights to keep it a night game. It?s probably happened other times too.
So yes baseball fans, there is an authority even higher than cable television out there.
