After months of contentious back-and-forth arguing that occasionally took the form of negotiations, Major League Baseball and the players’ union finally reached a point where they’ve decided to at least try to play.
If health and safety measures prove feasible, we’ll have a 60-game season, which amounts to a sprint in MLB terms but is also essentially the length of any given college baseball season. We lost college baseball this year and MLB is here to give us a proxy, which works for me.
If circumstances allow this baseball season to play out, it figures to be wonderfully chaotic, with the sport’s thin margins cut even thinner.
