Good Thing Jeter and Mariano aren't Jewish
Major League Baseball and ESPN <http://www.nypost.com/topics/topic.php?t=ESPN> must be atone deaf.
The Yankees' Sept. 27 home game against the Boston Red Sox <http://www.nypost.com/topics/topic.php?t=Boston_Red%20Sox> has been rescheduled from 1 to 8 p.m. -- putting the first pitch well after the sundown start of Yom Kippur.
The move forces observant Jewish fans to miss the game or risk having a lot more to atone for next Yom Kippur.
"Baseball switched the time because ESPN selected the game," a spokeswoman for the Yankees told The Post. "We were upset by it, but we have no control."
