MLB Dealing With Absurd Amount of Weather-Related Postponements in April
As much of the country has dealt with extreme, unpredictable and outright bizarre weather this April, MLB games keep getting postponed.
Some teams, such as the Twins and White Sox, missed three days straight of baseball due to unplayable conditions.
The Tigers lead the pack with six postponements, while the Cubs sit just behind with five games postponed.
According to The Associated Press, the total for this season "matched 2007 for the most weather-related postponements through April since Major League Baseball started keeping records in 1986." While there were 26 postponements through April in 2007, one was caused by the death of St. Louis pitcher Josh Hancock.
With just under two weeks still to go this month, the number is likely to rise.
Take a look at all the games that have been postponed and each team's full count below.
