Don’t expect any champagne showers after your favorite baseball team cliches a postseason berth in 2020. MLB will reportedly ban alcohol from the clubhouse during celebrations in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
The league will reportedly deliver a memo to teams this week outlining the proper protocol for celebrating a postseason berth. One of those rules involves banning alcohol from clubhouses. The league will also ask that players celebrate on the field, and mask up as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the virus.
