Spring training canceled, regular season delayed at least two weeks
In the Western Hemisphere, Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day by many. For the New York Yankees, it may be unlucky, but it also may be lucky in disguise. As the world deals with the pandemic coronavirus, schools, Broadway, Disney World, and large gatherings of all types have been shunned, canceled, and postponed. In the case of Major League Baseball, it means no more exhibition games and a delay to the beginning of the regular season.
All of these moves are being taken to hopefully lessen the spread of the deadly coronavirus that is often fatal to older people and people with underlying health issues.
