For the first time in more 11 years we are going to experience having two teams from one city played the teams in another city on the same day, however it is the first time in roughly 28 years that this occurrence has involved Chicago. With the Pope’s recent visit to Yankee Stadium the Yanks have been pushed on a road trip.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi commented on the road trip stating, “Who’s going to argue with the Pope?”
Each time that this scheduling event happens the teams will be playing their games at the same time. With the Cubs playing at 1:20 and the Sox taking on the Yankees at 7:11 it would be very possible for a fan of the Mets and White Sox, like myself, to see both games. It would have been amazing if not for school. Though this is the only night someone would be able to attend both games because like in New York, Chicago is better when both teams are not at home at the same time. After all, they are only a quick ride away on the L-train.
