IT IS HAPPENING. LIVE BASEBALL. PLAYED BY THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS. AGAINST ANOTHER TEAM. THE HOUSTON ASTROS. ON TELEVISION.
Sure, it’s an exhibition game that’s utterly meaningless. Sure, this is July, the season being what it is due to a nearly unprecedented global health disaster. Sure, there are serious doubts on whether or not we should be playing the season at all.
But for baseball fans, those things are ultimately out of our control. We can either choose to enjoy the televised product on the field or we can choose not to. Starting tonight, there will be televised baseball for 60 out of the next 67 days.
