A suite attendant at the Miami Marlins’ home ballpark, Lisa Eckstein had a chance to reconnect with a familiar face when she returned to work this season.
“I have a guest I’ve taken care of for 18 years,” she said. “Their initial reaction was to come and hug me because we’re like family — and then we’re doing the elbow thing.”
It would be premature to say the scene at major league ballparks has completely returned to normal, but there’s no question this season has been a step in that direction — perhaps most crucially for the people who work there.
