While it had been clear for multiple weeks Opening Day of the 2020 Major League Baseball would not be held on its original date, Thursday passing without any games brought about a wave of emotions for players and fans alike.
Clayton Kershaw, who was scheduled to make his ninth Opening Day start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 26, acknowledged the reality of the season being delayed set in last week. Along with highlighting the greater importance and implications the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has on society, Kershaw said players face a strange feeling with their routines and expectations being upended.
