Saunders: Imagining a 2020 Major League Baseball season without fans in the stands

It’s looking more and more likely that the 2020 Major League Baseball season — if takes place at all — will be played in nearly empty ballparks.

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around that concept. What would that look like? What would it sound like? What would it feel like? If people are still dying from the coronavirus, would it be the right thing to do?

It would be surreal, for sure.

As a beat writer, I have no idea if I’d be allowed to attend games or interview manager Bud Black or the players, except, perhaps, via a conference call or Skype.
