We've been through the exact same thing here with the Australian Football League, except that instead of fully cancelling everything, they're trying to squish as many games as they can into less than half the usual season length. When Victoria (my state) tightened restrictions again, they rearranged things so all the games are being played at interstate stadiums. But the 'home of football', the MCG, is here, and if the Grand Final isn't played here people will throw tantrums. I'm watching it play out from the point of view of an outsider, as I don't really follow it, but people are being absolutely idiotic about the whole thing.

Shut it down. The risks outweigh the reward. I hope the baseball people are smarter about it than our football people.

Oh, and we have a state public holiday for Grand Final Eve. It only started in 2018, and I didn't think it would go ahead, but apparently we're still going to get it, just moved to whenever the Grand Final gets held. If it gets held. Which makes me wonder, if they have to hold the Grand Final interstate because of the restrictions, will everything change so that state gets it instead of Victoria? It's all a big mess.
