F/A-18 Super Hornets soared overhead as legends like Chipper Jones and Johnny Bench threw ceremonial first pitches despite the deluge.

Fans, players, and coaches alike clung to hope amid the washouts, their passion undampened as MLB senior VP Michael Hill optimistically looked ahead to clearer skies the following day.
