MLB fans react to league's decision to postpone Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees game due to Canadian wildfires: "That's the correct decision"

MLB has postponed Wednesday's matchup between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees. The game was set to be played at Yankee Stadium, but the air quality around the area is poor due to the Canadian wildfires.The scene around the ballpark is something out of a horror movie. It's dark and dreary, and there's just no way baseball could be played safely in these conditions. This is now the second baseball game that has been postponed, as the matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies was also postponed.Jon Heyman@JonHeymanYankees-White Sox game is postponed36070Yankees-White Sox game is postponedThis has been the first time the league has postponed a game due to poor air quality since 2020.

It would have been dangerous for the players and the fans who bought a ticket to the game.The league made the right call regarding the game between the Chicago White Sox and the New York YankeesSan Francisco Giants v Milwaukee BrewersThe New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox played their game yesterday despite the high AQI reading of 150 at first pitch. Anything from 101-150 is considered unhealthy for sensitive people.Hours before the game, the AQI was measured at a whopping 413. This makes doing anything outside hazardous for anyone, not just sensitive groups. Nearly all outside activities in the area have been canceled.Despite not having a game to watch, Yankees fans can get excited that Carlos Rodon worked out on the field before the game's postponement. He's trying his best to get healthy and join the team.As conditions are expected to worsen tomorrow, we'll keep an eye on any more postponements from the league.
