One week from today, the Cubs and Brewers are scheduled to begin the 2020 60-game schedule at Wrigley Field, at 6:10 p.m CT. Thursday, it was announced that Kyle Hendricks would get the nod as the Opening Day (seems strange to be writing that phrase in July) starter, well deserved, an honor for a guy who’s been very consistent over his six-year career to date.
I should be excited about this, baseball returning, I have missed it terribly.
And yet, I find my enthusiasm level middling at best. With COVID-19 cases increasing across the country, it doesn’t feel right to be starting sports in these conditions.
