In baseball, rain delays are pretty common, but I've never heard of a fog delay. Yesterday, the Oakland Athletics played in Chicago against the White Sox. The game had to be delayed twice. One run scored because of a fly ball, lost in the fog, that fell for a triple. It must have been a pretty comical scene...

Heavy fog has rolled into the park and the visibility is horrible. The pitcher fires the baseball in the general direction of home plate. The batter hears the screaming seams of the fastball and blindly swings away as the umpire asks, "Strike?"

The outfielders react to the crack of the bat. Looking up in the sky, the right fielder runs forward and suddenly stops.

Right Fielder: Do you see it?
Center Fielder: Huh? Who said that? Lee, is that you?
Lee: No, I'm right here.

The hitter rounds what he thinks is first base. Random fans try to help the fielders with shouts of "Over there!", "To your right!", "Behind you!" and "Hey, watch where you point that finger!" Looking around wildly, the right fielder shouts, "I don't see it! Cripes! I don't see the ball!"

On the base path, the hitter trips over second base and makes an abrupt left turn. The center fielder puts his glove up to his ear and says, "Wait! I think I hear something." Dropping behind both outfielders, the ball skitters and bounces off the wall.

Ball: Plipt-pit-pit-pit-pit... whump!
Center Fielder: Oh, there it is.

The right fielder grabs the ball and throws it back to the infield or at least away from the fence. Unsure of what's going on, the runner makes a hard slide into third.

Third Baseman: That's not third, that's my foot.
Runner: Sorry, my bad. Where's the base again?
