4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Felt at Yankee Stadium Before Home Opener

Yankees players and staff remain calm; no disruptions to the game reported

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck northern New Jersey on Friday, April 5, 2024, and was felt at Yankee Stadium just before the New York Yankees' home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Yankees players, including Gleyber Torres who continued batting practice during the quake, and manager Aaron Boone, a California native, were largely unfazed by the tremor.
No significant damage or disruptions to the game were reported, and the home opener proceeded as planned.
The earthquake was felt across a wide area, including New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond.
This event marks another unusual occurrence for the Yankees this season, following a game delay due to a solar eclipse earlier in the week.
