Major League Baseball reportedly informed teams Monday that they should expect to start spring training on time and prepare for a full 162-game campaign. The league also outlined guidelines for letting fans into games, not requiring vaccination checks or negative test results but enforcing social-distancing guidelines and other spread-prevention measures.M
USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale reported Monday that the Major League Baseball Players Association “vigorously” fought against playing anything less than a full season. The two sides bickered back and forth for weeks last spring trying to negotiate the framework for the 2020 season in a spat that spilled into the public sphere. While such a display has managed to stay behind closed doors, the MLBPA wasn’t budging in its demand for full pay after accepting prorated salaries last year.
Fans will be allowed to attend games this season with teams required to spread them out using “pod” seating where groups are separated from one another by at least six feet, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reported Monday night.

They have fans?

Hypocrites! They still shelled out their couple of hundred bucks to be there. These would be the same people that paid good gold to watch the lions eat some Christians while all along claiming that it is against everything that is holy.
Bet they were all watching the game today.
Yep . . . totally disgusting.
You know, I think they are so desperate that they are even advertising the games on the Pet Collective!

Still hopeful we’ll have tix for Spring Training.
You could up like that Orioles crowd during the Freddie Gray riots.
And you seem to like to comment about it...
That can’t be for real?
“They’re still shitty!”
Will Governor Gavin let anybody attend MLB games in CA? I am not sure about that at this time...I think Cuomo will probably let people attend Yankees and Mets games...
Many people are employed during baseball season...Food service workers...Stadium workers...I am sure they are eager to work this year...
MLB sold out o the Marxist anti-American, white-hating, BLM.
