If you go down to Oracle Park right now and take a lap around the ballpark, you'll see very little to indicate baseball might be played there anytime soon. The players' lot, usually overflowing with trucks and Audis, is empty. The merchandise store is closed. The center field gate offers a glimpse of construction on the bullpens that was abandoned when COVID-19 led to an entire city sheltering in place.
But walk around to McCovey Cove and peer through one of the arches and you'll see a comforting sight. The grass is as green as ever, cut short and well manicured.
