Louis was delayed more than three and a half hours:. Sit around for three and a half hours, then resume the game in front of maybe 2, fans, play till 1 a. The new suspended-game rule is a good one. From my article:. Louis for the weekend. Louis or any other road city, for that matter for games in that era could probably be counted in the dozens instead of the thousands.

The Major Leagues have determined that Rule 7. B Immediately preceding the next scheduled doubleheader, if no single game remains on the schedule. A If one team is ahead, the team that is ahead shall be declared the winner unless the game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead, in which case the score upon the completion of the last full inning shall stand for purposes of this Rule 7.
Rule 7. The National Association has determined that games shall not be rescheduled and played to a completed regulation game in accordance with Rule 7. If a suspended game is to resume and no single game remains on the schedule, the National Association has determined that only a single game will be played after completing the suspended game.
The completion of a suspended game is a continuation of the original game. The lineup and batting order of both teams shall be exactly the same as the lineup and batting order at the moment of suspension, subject to the rules governing substitution.
Any player may be replaced by a player who had not been in the game prior to the suspension. No player removed before the suspension may be returned to the lineup.
A player who was not with the Club when the game was suspended may be used as a substitute, even if he has taken the place of a player no longer with the Club who would not have been eligible because he had been removed from the lineup before the game was suspended. If immediately prior to the call of a suspended game, a substitute pitcher has been announced but has not retired the side or pitched until the batter becomes a base runner, such pitcher, when the suspended game is later resumed may, but is not required to start the resumed portion of the game.
It will continue until the home team takes the lead at any point, or the visiting team takes the lead and the home team subsequently makes three outs without tying the game or going ahead. Regulation Game Definition A game is considered a regulation game -- also known as an "official game" -- once the visiting team has made 15 outs five innings and the home team is leading, or once the home team has made 15 outs regardless of score.
