Covid

A few months ago, I didn’t think that the opportunity to attend a baseball game in person would exist in 2020. COVID-19 had swept all sports away over a couple days in March. MLB spring training started and was then canceled. It was a brutal couple of months of lock-down, but starting in June, things started to change. Independent leagues and Collegiate summer leagues created pods, and in some cases, entire new teams to get some baseball played in 2020. Some of these teams are playing “home” games in different cities, but they are making it happen. Shameless plug… we put all these on a map, so you could find them easier here.

Are you moping around feeling like your life isn’t complete? We get it.

We miss baseball too…

But something has happened over the last couple of months that has offered some hope to baseball fans. And while those of us who love nothing more than checking out a new major league ballpark could easily get down in the dumps feeling like all is lost for 2020. One thing we have noticed in talking to other people who are less focused on baseball 24/7 than we are is that there’s this belief that there is no baseball this year. Right now, more than ever, people are looking for things to do and they’re sad they can’t go support their favorite team, whether that be an afternoon in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, tailgating at Miller Park, or being able to enjoy the food at a Sox game.
