New York Mets owner Steven Cohen has apologized to the Miami Marlins and their fans for the circumstances that led to Tuesday night’s series opener between the teams getting postponed.
Members of the Mets’ grounds crew worked for about three hours attempting to dry and smooth the infield and get the surface in playing shape, to no avail.
“Due to the significance of the game for the Marlins, every effort was made to make the field playable,” the Mets said. “First of all, Major League Baseball did an outstanding job of trying to get the game in. They really did. They did everything they could to help get the game in — as well as Buck,” Schumaker said. “Buck was great in trying to do whatever they could.
“You try to take as much positive as you can out of it. We’re lucky to be in this position. And hopefully the complaining and all that frustration is over with,” he said.
