On Saturday night, baseball was played. No, it wasn’t played in front of thousands of fans, there was no network television coverage, the players didn’t wear uniforms. It was sandlot baseball, the kind you played as a kid, or might be playing right now in your backyard as you wait for the Angels to return (I’m picturing you standing on March green grass with a Wiffle bat in one hand and your phone in the other and play has stopped while you read this article).
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer organized the event, pulling together players in Arizona to help raise money for stadium workers who are impacted by the coronavirus shutdown.
