New MLB rules: shower at home, don’t spit, Paws stay away

New York — Major League Baseball will look somewhat like high school ball this year under protocols to deal with the new coronavirus, with showers at ballparks discouraged and players possibly arriving in uniform, like they did when they were teenagers.

Team personnel will be banned from eating at restaurants on road trips.

Even the Phillie Phantic, Mr. Met and Paws will be missing, banned from the field along with all other team mascots.
