OK, let’s not sugarcoat it: there is a lot that sucks about 2020, and 60 games of Orioles baseball played in empty stadiums across the Eastern seaboard is not going to be the magic fix for any of it. Plus there’s no telling whether the whole thing gets shut down at any moment. But, at some level, baseball is always glorious baseball, and baseball in the age of COVID certainly beats no baseball at all.
In one way, it’ll be business as usual for Orioles fans: nobody expects good things to come to this fanbase any time soon.
