New York Yankees baseball has not been played for 148 days. That is 148 days of pure silence. No bat making contact with the baseball on its trek out of the ballpark. No pop of the glove as it meets the baseball on a laser throw to first. No smooth slides into home. No diving catches, stellar double plays or thrilling walk-off celebrations.
Baseball isn’t the only thing missing. Practically all sports are on hiatus and the rest of the world is shut down due to fears over COVID-19. It has become a worldwide pandemic and every industry has been affected.
