Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell went on The Last Call w/ Drew Deener & Jason Nemes on 93.9 The Ville Radio and relayed a conversation he had with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, telling him that "America needs baseball."
Gabe Lacques of USA Today transcribed the quotes:
"I called the commissioner of baseball a couple weeks ago and said, ‘America needs baseball. It’s a sign of getting back to normal. Any chance?’
"As you may have heard there is discussion about having an abbreviated season beginning around the Fourth of July where teams would either play in their spring training sites in Arizona or Florida or play at home to largely empty stadiums.
