Are We Going To Have A Baseball Season This Year?
Contents
It’s looking more and more likely that we won’t have a baseball season this year. Here’s why.
Introduction
It’s March, and that means baseball season is just around the corner. But with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging across the country, it’s unclear if we’ll actually have a season this year.
There have been some encouraging signs recently. The CDC has said that fully vaccinated people can safely attend outdoor sporting events, and MLB has announced that it will allow fans in stadiums at reduced capacity. But there are still a lot of unknowns, and it’s possible that the season could be postponed or canceled entirely.
So what do we know? Here’s a look at the latest on the possibility of a 2021 MLB season.
Cancellation of the 2020 Season
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 baseball season.
This was not an easy decision to make, but ultimately we felt it was in the best interest of our players, coaches, and fans.
We would like to thank everyone for their support and patience as we navigated through this difficult situation.
The Possibility of a 2021 Season
The MLB season is set to start on April 1st, with Spring Training beginning February 27th. There has been talk of a shortened season, like the 60 game season we saw in 2020, but no decisions have been made yet. With the ongoing pandemic, it is unclear if we will have a baseball season this year. However, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has said that he is “100 percent” confident that there will be a 2021 season.
The novel coronavirus has had a profound effect on the world, and baseball is no exception.
The virus has forced the postponement of the start of the 2020 season, and it remains to be seen whether or not the season will be able to start at all.
The effect of the virus on baseball has been wide-ranging, from the postponement of spring training to the cancellation of minor league seasons.
The virus has also had an impact on baseball players, with several players testing positive for the virus and some opting out of playing this season.
It remains to be seen how the virus will continue to affect baseball, but it is clear that it has already had a major impact on the sport.
Conclusion
It’s looking more and more likely that we’re going to have a baseball season this year. All the signs point to there being some sort of shortened season, and while that’s not ideal, it’s better than nothing.
So start getting your peanuts and Cracker Jacks ready, because it looks like we’re going to have some baseball to watch in 2020 after all.
