Hello and happy Tuesday. I initially typed “happy Sunday,” realized that was wrong, tried “happy Thursday,” realized that was also wrong, and then got lucky by trying “happy Tuesday.” Days are hard in this new timeline.
The 2020 MLB season did not go as planned, as the coronavirus caused a 60-game season, rather than the 162-game schedule that we’re all accustomed to. Owners and players fought for months over the season, with owners wanting to cut player salaries (on top of prorating them) to make up for the lack of money coming in.
The league undoubtedly lost a lot of money by not being able to sell tickets, but there is some good news: TV viewership was up.
