Our New Opening Day: How Do You Feel About Baseball Starting Up?
It’s been a long drought…
There’s talk right now about baseball starting up around the July 4th weekend. There’s also different proposals about the length of the new season and the format. I get dizzy just thinking about what it all will look like, especially with no fans. I’m calling it “Ghost Baseball.” Then throw in the DH in the National League and the new three batter minimum rule for relievers, and things are really going to be out of joint.
It just seems like the thrill and excitement of a traditional Opening Day is gone. Let’s find out what our readers think about all this. I confess that I’m not real excited about the forthcoming season and I voted for Answer 2 below. I was tempted to vote for number 5 in my own poll. But then again, I guess any baseball is better than none. Do you agree?
