Strange times beget strange scenarios.
In the sports world, here’s an odd hypothetical that looms as extra strange:
MLB games being played for weeks or months, in empty Arizona ballparks where all 30 teams would play.
That’s a loose plan that MLB officials are discussing, reported The Athletic and ESPN in recent days.
Weirder yet, ESPN says this glorified Cactus League could launch next month, a projection that comes even as the COVID-19 pandemic this week escalates to new levels in the United States.
It’s hard to believe MLB could pull this off, especially so soon.
