Texas Rangers: MLB delays 2020 season due to Coronavirus concerns

The start of the Texas Rangers 2020 season and their unveiling of Globe Life Field will have to wait a few more weeks. Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that the start of the 2020 regular season would be pushed back at least two weeks due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus. In addition, all remaining Spring Training activities have been suspended. The league joins the NHL, NBA, MLS and other various leagues across the country in taking significant preventative measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Wednesday, March 11th has been dubbed by many as ‘The Craziest Day in Sports’ after a number of collegiate leagues across the US made decisions to make limitations to spectator numbers or scheduling changes for the remainder of their athletic seasons.
