Baseball without fans sounds doable. Baseball without COVID-19 sounds hard to believe.

Everyone needs hope, especially now, even if it’s a tiny dot of light at the end of a long tunnel. I don’t know if sports can provide that, but it can provide a sliver of normalcy, and that’s what most of us want right now. We’d like as close to normal as we can get, as fast as we can get it.

So baseball games without fans in the seats? Yes, please. No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody in the stands? No problem. It would be strange for a while, then we’d get used to it.
