This diary started as a late night brainstorm as I watched every major sports league shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I had no idea what was about to happen, but I knew it was historic. I also happen to live in an iconic neighborhood built around baseball and I wanted to be able to look back later and remember what happened on an (almost) daily basis. I believe I originally pitched the idea to Al as sort of like the letters they read in Ken Burns documentaries, but with a lot more sass.
After 132 days baseball is finally back, but we are still in historic times.
