Dr. Fauci Says MLB Shouldn't Play Games into October amid COVID-19 Pandemic

While Major League Baseball owners and players fight over if and when the league will start the 2020 season, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, believes it would be unwise to play into October amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"If the question is time, I would try to keep it in the core summer months and end it not with the way we play the World Series, until the end of October when it's cold," Fauci said Tuesday, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.
