Major League Baseball owners have re-written the rule book to remove any chance of rain-shortened playoff games after a confusing situation in last year's World Series.
The amendment requires all playoff and World Series games be played to a full conclusion of at least nine innings no matter the score when play is halted and regardless of how many innings might be complete.
The decision comes after the first rain-suspended game in World Series history brought an odd climax to the deciding contest of the championship.
