It was a historic and weird night in baseball. In front of a crowd of zero, A’s first baseman Matt Olson hit a grand slam in walk-off fashion in the 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
Per usual, it’s a time where teammates run onto the field and celebrate in an up-close and personal way, but not during a pandemic. At least, that’s not what’s supposed to happen.

There wasn’t any social distancing once Olson crossed the plate, and unfortunately, it’s going to be difficult to adhere to that.
