Well, that makes sense. It rains a lot in Florida, and the Tampa area has been getting pummeled with storms lately.
Except…well, the game wasn’t postponed because of the weather.
It was postponed because of an enormous circus tent beyond the outfield wall that was distracting the players.
Check out these pictures from Steinbrenner Field.

Hard to believe an affiliated minor league game is cancelled because there is a circus tent in the batter's eye. pic.twitter.com/2ehpuTUljb

I have no words. Weather, yeah. Power outage, OK. Flashing lights on a circus tent? Yeah…that’s a new one.
