On his way out of the postponed World Series game, Adam Sigley, 30, of Allentown, bought a beer from a vendor to drown his sorrows.
”We’re upset,” he said. “I’m not happy, my wife can’t come tomorrow.”

After Game 3 between the Phillies and the Astros was postponed due to rain, fans left Citizens Bank Park earlier than planned Monday night, with the game pushed to Tuesday.
Sigley’s wife, Michelle, who works in health care, said her bosses went to bat for her to have off Monday, but she can’t come Tuesday.
”Now I have to choose between my brother or my best friend to bring to the game tomorrow,” Adam Sigley said.
