History of Sporting Postponement

       After all the hype and build up about this Ryder Cup we get just over two hours before the weather unleashed itself onto the Celtic Manor.  The Welsh Tourist board got very upset with Nick Faldo after he told the Americans to bring their waterproofs.  But it seems like the waterproofs they brought weren't good enough as the whole American squad went to the Celtic Manor shop to purchase new waterproof trousers.  But this whole episode gave me the idea at looking at sporting postponements throughout history.  As you probably could guessed there have been many over the years and for many separate reasons.  I am just going highlight the few that caught my attentions.
