Total Solar Eclipse from Volcanoes Stadium (Keizer-Salem Volcanoes) in Oregon
Hillsboro Hops vs. Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
Game time: 9:35 a.m.
The eclipse reached Oregon at about 10:15 a.m. PDT and exited the state at 10:27 a.m. At the coast, the greatest duration of totality was 2 minutes and as the eclipse exited Oregon, the duration of totality increased to 2 minutes and 10 seconds. When the eclipse first touched Oregon, the Moon's shadow was racing at approximately 3,400 miles per hour! When the Moon's shadow left Oregon, it slowed down to about 2,900 miles per hour because it was now higher in the sky. The width of the eclipse path in the Willamette Valley was about 87 miles.
Today, the entire continental United States witnessed its first total solar eclipse since 1918. Pretty cool, right? If you were lucky enough to be in the path of totality, you saw something pretty special. But don't worry if you weren't: The professional baseball world had you covered.
If you were lucky enough, you could even catch some baseball and the eclipse at the same time thanks to four Minor League matchups.
While no Major League games took place during the eclipse, four Minor League ones did. Even without games, plenty of MLB ballparks found themselves with some terrific views.

The West Coast saw the eclipse first, which meant that the Volcanoes, the Giants' Class A Short Season affiliate, were the first baseball team in history to have an eclipse delay.
