I disagree with the NOTNEWS rationale, because we include similar events in several other Wikipedia articles about sports closures. While baseball postponements are the most common of any sport, they are still rare. Many road closures should also be removed if we interpret NOTNEWS that strictly.

I agree with the IP here - since the article goes into a quite a large amount of detail on the effects of the hurricane, including relatively trivial incidents such as One victim's truck was swept 1.8 miles down stream in Milford, NJ., or The St. Stephen Catholic School in New Orleans lost its roof., or One person also died after falling from a roof while making damage repairs., this seems appropriate. In addition, there is a line under the Louisiana section already reading Several sporting events were also moved, delayed, or cancelled due to the storm., suggesting that the cancellation of a sporting event (although maybe not the specific teams) is likely worthy of inclusion here.

@
Tollens: the cancellation of several sporting events is already mentioned, but if you have reason to believe that a specific event (which I assume is more important than the others) is worth mentioning, then you're welcome to add it.

I too agree with IP. The Louisiana section in "Preparations" names a preseason NFL game that was canceled and the Louisiana section of "Aftermath" names several college-level sporting events and an NFL regular-season game that were moved. Surely an actual regular-season MLB game is at least as "important" the college-level and preseason NFL events, no? I would go ahead and add it myself, but I'm having a hard time thinking of how to inject a sentence about the game in the existing paragraph. --

@
Pinchme123 and
M.Bitton: it might just be able to be tacked on to the end perhaps? The other sections don't seem to have any sort of consistent flow, most of them reading more like a list than a sequence of related events. If it seems that would be fine to both of you, "On September 1, a planned
MLBbaseball game between the
Philadelphia Phillies and
Washington Nationals was postponed due to the rain caused by the remnants of the storm.[1]" seems a reasonable way to phrase it based on the other instances in the article.

Works for me. I've been
WP:BOLD and added this, with more info for a cite template.
The third paragraph of the lead states: "Ida is the
sixth-costliest tropical cyclone on record, and the fourth-costliest Atlantic hurricane in the United States". The link to "sixth-costliest" is to List of costliest Atlantic hurricanes".
A hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone, ... are all the same thing: tropical storms. But they are known by different names in different locations..
