NextImg:Yankees vs. White Sox game postponed due to wildfire smoke in NYC

Because it was difficult to breathe, Major League Baseball opted for a breather.

The Yankees-White Sox game scheduled for Wednesday night in The Bronx was postponed due to air-quality concerns that threw New York and the surrounding areas into a dystopia.

The Yankees and the White Sox will play a traditional doubleheader beginning at 4:05 p.m. on Thursday.

In a scene that resembled “Blade Runner,” clouds of smoke that wafted south from Canadian wildfires put the City in a literal haze.

There was an orange tint to The Bronx, which might as well have been Mars.

MLB talked with several clubs affected by the air quality about three hours before Yankees game time and decided against hosting an outdoor game as the city urged people to stay indoors.
