With the COVID-19 pandemic relatively under control in New York state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo invited MLB teams to play games there.
Cuomo explained his thinking in a news conference Tuesday, via Bernadette Hogan of the New York Post:
"Major League Baseball is struggling with the challenges of playing ball in the COVID crisis. I have said from day one I thought that it was a very good idea to get sports back without fans. But, it would be televised, etc. I think it would be good for the economy, I think it would be good for the psyche, I think it would be good for the nation's soul.
