This particular tweet showed San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics playing baseball in their respective home stadiums but with the sky having a weird orange glow to it. The peculiar colour was due to the thick smoke from the wildfire, and the colour orange appeared due to the sun glowing in the backdrop. Just wow.#SFGiants ⁦@OracleParkSF⁩ pic.twitter.com/y2bSzgjVI1 — Darren Chan (@415dc) September 9, 2020 (Image Credit @xWxClub/Twitter) Read: California Wildfires Take Ferocious Turn, Burn Across 40km Of Mountainous Terrain Read: Wildfire Rages Across North America, Burns 3.4 Mn Acres In California Alone
