Baseball came back on Monday, but it looked different than we’ve ever seen before.
With the coronavirus pandemic preventing fans from safely attending games, MLB teams are playing in empty stadiums in front of no audience. Clubs also must follow strict and extensive health and safety protocols, which have affected some of the normal customs and logistics we’re used to.
We’ve known these changes were coming for a while, but Monday was the first time we really got to see them in action, in a live televised game. Here are some of the sights and sounds from the Oakland A’s exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants at the Coliseum (click here for game recap).
