While we await the eventual return of both the KC Royals and the MLB in general, we should put things into perspective and be grateful for what the league has done thus far.
Suspending play was not an easy decision for any sports league. Revenue is lost, players can’t earn a living and fans are left in the dark. Heck, the 2020 MLB regular season was shut down before it even started. It was definitely for the best, though, and looking at how some other countries are handling the situation should reinforce that.
Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) announced it would be delaying the start of its regular season, but would conduct games without fans present.
