New York City experienced a magnitude 4.8 earthquake during the Yankees’ batting practice before their home opener, followed by anticipation for a solar eclipse forecasted to occur three days later.
Solar Eclipse Event and Game Preparation:
The solar eclipse, set to take place on Monday afternoon, prompts adjustments to the Yankees’ game schedule, with the potential for delays leading to a four-hour postponement. The team plans to distribute Yankees solar eclipse T-shirts to the first 15,000 fans attending the game.
Manager Aaron Boone remains uncertain about altering the team’s pregame routine for the eclipse. He stated that they will follow advisories if necessary but maintain the current schedule for batting practice.
Previous Experience and Awareness:
Boone recalls experiencing the last total solar eclipse in 2017 while broadcasting the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania, emphasizing the significance of the event and the precautions taken with eclipse glasses.
