I’m reticent to even take the very air I breathe for granted in 2020, but Major League Baseball is scheduled to begin a modified season en masse Friday. The Yankees will take on the Nationals and the Giants will battle the Dodgers to kick things off Thursday evening, while everyone else follows suit the next day. There will be no fans in the stands. I don’t care! The announcers may do the games from remote locations. I don’t care! It’s only going to be a 60-game season. I DON’T CARE! I’m so desperate for a mere scintilla of normalcy right now I’ll take anything at this point.
Baseball may no longer truly be “America’s pastime,” but it could definitely be what America needs in this particular moment. I long for an opportunity to simply be entertained by one of my favorite sports for three hours. I could certainly use a break from all the other stuff.
