Don't expect to be able to buy a ticket for a Fourth of July game at Guaranteed Rate Field or Wrigley Field. But the leader of our state is hopeful that baseball will return to the Land of Lincoln by July.
"I'm anxious, starting with baseball, to get baseball up and running again," Governor J.B. Pritzker said during his daily press conference Wednesday, "and I'm hopeful we will be able to do that going into July."
That's music to the ears of baseball fans who were fearful that even with a deal between Major League Baseball and the players' union to begin a shortened 2020 season during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the state might have had measures in place that could have prevented the White Sox and Cubs from playing home games in their ballparks.
