PITTSBURGH - Randy Knorr sat a few rows back of home plate here Saturday, with the first pitch more than three hours away.
A baseball lifer, Knorr wore red shorts, a blue Nationals shirt, sunglasses, and track shoes with a few days of a beard on his sun-drenched cheeks. His days of intense running before games has been put on hold with surgery on his right foot, due to arthritis, a possibility after this season.
The first-base coach for the Nationals, former Major League catcher Knorr dealt with a breakthrough COVID-19 case earlier this season before his return to the Washington bench.
