RAIN COULD THREATEN GAME 6 IN BIG APPLE

After several days of sunshine, the American League Championship Series returns to New York this weekend, and with it comes the obligatory forecast of gloom. Substantial rainfall is predicted throughout the day Saturday, and it could last well past the scheduled first pitch time of 7:57 p.m., soaking the field at Yankee Stadium and threatening to postpone Game 6 until Sunday, when the weather is expected to clear.
