There may be a drought in California, but the Los Angeles Angels had a home game rained out Sunday, their first in 20 years.
They needed to dry the field on Monday, so they called in a helicopter to hover overhead.
The field was blow-dried, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia was unimpressed.
He recalls a youth league game years ago when wet base paths were doused in gasoline and set on fire.
Presuambly the fire went out before the game began.

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. There may be a drought in California, but the Los Angeles Angels had a home game rained out on Sunday, their first rainout in 20 years. On Monday, they needed to dry the field, so they called in a helicopter. The field was blow-dried. But manager Mike Scioscia was unimpressed. He recalls a youth league game years ago when wet base paths were doused in gasoline and set on fire. Hopefully, the fire went out before the game. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
