Sadly, there isn't much you can do to avoid the inevitable rain delay.
But as the Louisville Bats and Indianapolis Indians learned Friday, there are definitely ways to make the best of them.
After the two teams had their matchup postponed due to torrential rains at Indianapolis' Victory Field, both dugouts were inundated with several feet of water. No worries, though, because that's just exactly where the fun begins:

Some players, meanwhile, opted to ditch the flotation devices completely:
