The first pitch of Game 1 of Friday’s doubleheader between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium has been delayed, but not due to inclement weather.
The Yankees are honoring legendary pitcher CC Sabathia by retiring his number before Friday’s doubleheader. Because the ceremony lasted longer than expected, Friday afternoon’s start time of 4:05 p.m. EDT has been pushed back.
