Sunday would have marked the first month of the Major League Baseball season. The Rockies, weather permitting, would have played 27 games.
Normally, fans would be venting about early season slumps and going ga-ga over April heroes. Instead, we all wait for a season that might never come, or if it does come, will be played in a dramatically altered state.
So, what are the chances there will be baseball played this year?
Despite the ongoing presence of the coronavirus pandemic, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred remains optimistic that a season will take place.
“While I fully anticipate that baseball will resume this season, it is very difficult to predict with any accuracy the timeline for the resumption of our season,” Manfred said in a letter sent last week to managers, coaches, scouts and other non-players employed by MLB.
