It may have been the old All Star Baseball series that did weather right. Before the game the announcers would say that there is a chance of rain throughout the game and the skies would be overcast. Then at some point it would start to rain. Sometimes you could finish the game and other times they would show the players run off the field for a delay. Then the game would either resume or be postponed and, just like real life, would become official if you were past the top half of the 5th inning. This happens in baseball, and frankly I'm a little surprised it isn't in the show after all these years.

Having played baseball my whole life in the Midwest, I can tell you that weather plays as much of a factor in a game as anything else. Throwing a baseball when it's 35 degrees is not as easy as you think...let alone trying to hit when it's raining and the water drops keeping falling off the brim of your helmet.
