If the World Series goes to a Game 6 this year, then presidential nominee Barack Obama will be the reason for the game's delayed start.
Major League Baseball agreed Wednesday to push back the start of Game 6 by about 15 minutes to allow a television commercial Obama plans to run on Oct. 29 — the Wednesday before the Nov. 4 election, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Obama's campaign purchased the same half-hour of prime time — from 8-8:30 p.m. ET on CBS and NBC (a deal with ABC is still in negotiations). FOX, which has broadcast rights to Game 6, planned to air a pre-game show, and the first pitch is usually thrown at 8:22 p.m.
