Coronavirus halts Major League Baseball

It is hard to go even a few minutes without hearing someone talk about Coronavirus or reading about it online. Universities have turned to virtual learning, Coachella is postponed until October, Disneyland shut down and all sports have either been put on pause or canceled completely. 

This means, while you’re self-quarantined in your room, you can’t even turn to sports as an escape from the pure chaos happening around the globe.

Major League Baseball announced on Thursday that all spring training games have been canceled and all athletes can return home. The regular season was set to begin at the end of the month but now it is postponed at least two weeks. 

This is what opening day usually looks like for baseball.

Baseball might be put on hold, but the many amazing female reporters, journalists and broadcasters will still update the public as news rolls in. I look forward to continuing to showcase these individuals and the impact they make in the baseball world.`

While this is a frightening and uneasy time for everyone, it is important to be kind and take care of the people around you.

If you start to lose your mind from the lack of sports to watch, I recommend watching reruns of your favorite teams. I know it is not the same but it’s how I spent my first day stuck at home and it made me feel just a tad bit better. 

Be safe, wash your hands and wipe down your cell phones!
