The rolling cancellations and postponements of Major League Baseball's season due to the rising coronavirus crisis finally reached the jewel event of the Cardinals' goal to broaden their international presence.
The Cardinals series against the Cubs in London has been canceled, Major League Baseball announced on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
The series had long been in jeopardy, dating back to early March and the opening concerns about international travel and the spread of COVID0-19 in Europe. The Cardinals had lobbied Major League Baseball to wait on a decision until closer to the scheduled date of the series, June 13-14.
