Red Sox finally get to New York after 24 hour plane delay in Chicago

The Boston Red Sox arrived at Citi Field on Friday afternoon after being grounded for nearly 24 hours in Chicago due to mechanical issues with their team plane. The team reached the ballpark at 5:05 p.m. Eastern time, approximately two hours before the scheduled series opener against the New York Mets. Due to this delay, the start of the game was pushed back by 35 minutes, eventually beginning at 7:50 p.m.
