There are rain delays, and there there was Busch Stadium on Sunday.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs had their game delayed for several hours, and it isn't hard to see why:

The two teams had their Friday game postponed due to weather, so it's been that sort of weekend in St. Louis. Sunday's game eventually was able to start around 9:40 p.m. ET.

It wasn't the only major sporting event to see a delay, as the Indianapolis 500 started about four hours later than scheduled due to inclement weather. Josef Newgarden ultimately won the race for the second straight year.
