It's three hours to game time as I type this, and the forecast looks nasty: Flash flood watch with 'strong thunderstorms' predicted to roll across the area. It's going to rain off and on, heavily at times, all night, and I will almost certainly get to sit through my first rain delay of the season tonight. I'm confident nine innings will get played, but there is pretty much no hope of fireworks happening. On the plus side, those of us that are there to watch baseball (as opposed to fireworks) will have a pleasantly easy time exiting the park when the game finally ends around 11:00 or 11:30, the 200 of us that remain.
But, I mean, come on. If you've lived in Altoona for a while and didn't expect it to rain on Memorial Day, you are a fool. It's tradition here.
