White Sox’s top doctor thinks there will be baseball this year
What impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on players' mental healthRejoice, baseball fans. There is a path to Major League Baseball games getting played this summer.
At least that is the opinion of Dr. Nik Verma, the head team physician for the Chicago White Sox.
“Yeah I do (see a path). And I'm speaking personally at this point,” Dr. Verma told NBC Sports Chicago in a lengthy chat over Zoom on Monday. “You know, we'll take the fan portion out of it, because that's going to be a much bigger decision and probably will be delayed. But if you think about just playing baseball, it's really no different than trying to open up, for example, our medical practice.”
