FINALLY: Fans Are Stoked For Start Of Yankees, Mets Seasons

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Fans are really hoping the weather holds up Thursday, because Major League Baseball is set to return.

After a four-month delay, it’s finally Opening Day.

And, as CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported, it won’t be like any other.

We’re used to fans filling the seats at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. But now, because of the coronavirus pandemic, Nationals Park in Washington D.C., where the Yankees are opening their season against the defending World Series champion Nationals, will be empty.

The Mets play at home Friday afternoon against the Atlanta Braves.
