“Another Reason to Dislike the Blue Jays” – Orange Peril at Yankee Stadium Has New Yorkers Reeling Before Unexpected Result

North America is in a crisis. From wildfires in Canada to worsening air quality in the northeastern part of the USA, orange skies and smoke envelop the skies. The situation has not only disrupted major events but daily life too. Haunting pictures of before/after scenes in New York City are going viral – NYC currently has one of the worst air qualities in the world. Among the many affected are the New York Yankees, who were scheduled to have a game against the Chicago White Sox.

The series opener between the two teams ended with the Bronx Bombers’ defeat on Tuesday. But before that, many noticed the smoke beginning to envelop the skies. While not much attention was paid that night, Wednesday saw a different turn of events.

Orange skies take over NYC and cause delays

In a scene straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie, the city of New York is battling terrible air quality as well as dealing with smog. From major Broadway shows to MLB games being canceled, authorities are advising everyone to stay inside. While the Yankees’ Tuesday game may have gone by fine, things worsened on Wednesday.

“I wasn’t really affected by it last night,” said Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone late Wednesday afternoon. “But I know that some of you guys were, especially in the press box and stuff. So I think all that goes into consideration. Like not a great position for people to be sitting outside.”

Impacted teams met with MLB and arrived at the decision to postpone until conditions improved. The other teams to delay the game were the Philadelphia Phillies, who were up against the Detroit Tigers.

Recent developments leave New York Yankees fans dazed

Canada has sustained some serious damage because of the ongoing wildfires and is affecting the rest of the continent too. Among concerned voices, some Yankees fans are also trying to make light of the situation. In fact, one even blamed the Toronto Blue Jays, who have a fraught history with the Bronx team.

Some noted how the city looks like the end of the world is near.

Some wondered if the game was still one while others advised everyone to stay safe.

Let’s hope things clear up soon enough so that NYC gets back to its usual hustle and bustle.
