Did the director take any heat (really, no pun intended) for that decision?
No, I have since learned that the cancellation was in fact prompted by a couple of managers who earlier in the day had called the director about the heat. And the umpires were happy when I called to inform them that they could spend this evening in air conditioning.
On hot Philadelphia days, when the mid-day sun shone down on the plastic grass in the now-extinct monstrosity called Veterans Stadium, the thermometers at field level often registered 110 to 115 degrees. And that's actual temperature, not heat index.
