MLB seeks to prevent shortened playoff games
Published 11/21/2008 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
Major League Baseball wants to enact a rule that playoff games can never be shortened because of bad weather.
There has never been a rain-shortened game in the playoffs, and MLB commissioner Bud Selig said on Thursday they want to make sure there never will be.
"All postseason games, All-Star games and that, will be full-length affairs, and the rule will be so written," Selig said following an owners' meeting.
