With all due respect to the Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans, most baseball followers would like to forget about the 2020 season and turn back the clock to the pre-pandemic days.
So, apparently, do the major league owners and players, only there’s a difference of opinion on how far to turn it back. The players would like to see it turned back to 2019, just before the COVID pandemic upended life around the world. The owners, meanwhile, apparently want to turn back the clock to something more like 1960.
At stake right now is Spring Training, where Washington Nationals’ players are expecting to report in about two weeks.
