PEORIA, Ariz. — With the Major League Baseball season on hold indefinitely as the world tries to prevent the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus, thousands of people who are employed by the 30 teams to work regular-season games at their respective ballparks are now without work and paychecks.
In an effort to offset some of that loss, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday that all 30 teams will donate $1 million each to go toward their respective event staff employees.
