It doesn’t sound like baseball will be returning anytime soon.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the sports world, and with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending there be no gatherings of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks, it’s starting to seem like the first two months of the baseball season could be lost.
To this point, the league has announced nothing more than a delay of “at least” two weeks, but any regular-season baseball before June is starting to sound like a pretty good scenario.
It’s certainly possible that we could be looking at the shortest baseball season since the World Series became a legitimate, non-exhibition thing back in 1903.
