5. I See That

But, I still remember rainouts at Wrigley just being played from the beginning & I was born 11 years after WW2.
But, I looked it up.
The official MLB rules say the games are picked up where they were terminated.
But, that's new. I found this on the MLB website.

Prior to the 2020 season, if a regular season game was terminated early before becoming official, the results up to the point of the termination did not count and the game was started over at a later date. But as part of MLB's health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, all games cut short before becoming official were resumed at a later date, rather than started over from scratch, during the 2020 campaign. This matched the rules that have been in place since 2008 for all postseason games and any tiebreaker games added to the end of the regular season.
