I am pretty sure that if you took a poll of all the smart folks that cover baseball on a routine basis, you’d get a hell of a lot of differing opinions about whether there will be baseball this summer at all, and if there is, what a season might look like.

I remember briefly thinking, amid the early warning signs of the COVID-19 pandemic, do I really want to get on a plane? Without any serious warnings from the political or health folks in our government, I gulped and went.
