Baseball is back, sort of. MLB and the Players Association (MLBPA) will play a shortened 60-game season starting in late July, with teams opening their training camps on July 1st. After months of negotiations about salary and number of games, the Commissioner Rob Manfred had to mandate a season according to the March agreement between all parties. Therefore, we will see the New York Yankees seek their 28th championship this season.
One of the new rules for the season is that pitchers will be allowed to keep a wet rag in their back pocket. The purpose of this is for hurlers to touch it against their fingers and improving grip.
