They make teams travel for a one-off game to make up for rainouts all the time. 

For entire rained out games, yes.  To play a single inning at the end of a suspended game?  That would be a ridiculous ask 😆

I'm still mad about the time they kept the game going in a downpour until the Yankees pulled ahead and then called it.

Another rain game comes to mind vs NYY. I was at the 15 inning 2001 O's game at Yankee Stadium (Ripken's last there). It was suspended due to rain and ended as a 1-1 tie.

Not in a close game. Plus, you'd only have 20 - 30 minutes of play instead of 3 hours so it would be less likely to interfere with travel times.

Random thought occurred to me, most of NYY fans are either Jets or Giants fans, and most Steeler fans are Pirate fans. Is the contingent of NYY/Steeler fans sizeable? I would say that almost all are front-runners without connection to either NY or Pittsburgh. I would hate to meet these people, for many reasons...

Honest question.  To you remember a single time that's ever happened?  Because I don't think it has.
