Yankees over Twins (forfeit)
Clipping from the message board, 6/11/04:
It sucked in every way shape and form, but it's a long season, and it's only one game. From what I understood, I had told both the Yankees and the Twins that were there that if there weren't enough to play, there would be a forfeit. I never told them they had until X:XX time to get it going. I left that up to the players. Nobody was happy about that, but they understood. At some point (I think just after 7pm), they mutually decided to put a time limit out, saying that if the Twins couldn't get a third guy to the field in 15 minutes, they would call it off. The third player arrived about 15 minutes after the Yanks left. Keep in mind it was nobody's first choice to forfeit. What transpired was everybody's last resort I am sure, and I hope there aren't any hard feelings. The decision ultimately came from the players involved.
