“And good ol’ boys were drinking whiskey and rye saying this will be the day that I die.” – Don McLean
There was bad news on the doorstep today if you’re still one who gets a morning paper delivery, unlike someone like me, a gormandizer of online sports news. Baseball has been suspended indefinitely, at least through the rest of spring training and the first two weeks of the season. That rushing sound you were expecting to hear as baseball opened the 2020 season has been temporarily muted.
Even if MLB allows its teams to start playing again in mid-April, the city of Chicago would rather wait until May 1 to allow social gatherings large enough to fill Wrigley Field.
