Major League Baseball is growing more confident that there will be a baseball season after all. At least two reports identified late June or early July as a likely time frame for the 2020 season's Opening Day.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported the "most realistic time range for Opening Day — somewhere between mid-June and July 4, in the view of most officials — would allow for an 80- to 100-game regular season, with the schedule running through October

Nightengale added that MLB is considering a plan that would create three-divisions, with 10-teams each, and teams would only play within their division. The plan would allow teams to play at their home ballparks while cutting back on travel.

Much more at link. They go on to set out proposed teams in each of 3 possible leagues & say the World Serious (g) could be played in Dec

Right or Wrong, whoever wins this year's World Series, is going to have a giant Asterisk next to their name.

It will be nice being able to watch sports again, but it's really all about the TV money, when it comes down to it.
