Season called on account of SARS-CoV-19
Jul. 27th, 2020 03:36 pmOK, let's be clear. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a baseball fanatic. I live for the Giants. I have preseason rituals that I adhere to religiously. I believe Opening Day should be a national holiday. I own about seven Giants hats.
Knowing all that, you'll understand the gravity of my thoughts here. Shut it down. Five days into the abbreviated season and we have the Marlins with 14 players testing positive, and games being canceled due to the need to clean the clubhouses used by the Marlins! You're going to see more and more big-name players opt out of the season.
And frankly, the season is a joke. 60 games? We can't play four without the plague breaking out! This is not going to work, and even if it somehow reaches the World Series, the winner is going to carry a huge asterisk because of the number of star players sitting out and the shortened season.
Shut it down. Save lives. And as always, wait 'til next year!
