Looks like MLB and players hammered out most of the details, and they will be announced on Monday

Camps are breaking up, and the players are on their first road trip of the season, headed to their home towns.

I'm kinda excited to watch baseball, but I'll have to see how this abbreviated season shakes out.

And I wonder if very many players come down with Covid ... will they just cancel the rest of the season?

Negative tests results are required before they even enter the park, including family members.

One unnamed SF Giants player displayed mild symptoms in camp, and they were able to stop it cold.

And he's one crazy clutch hitter!

He's had a taste of it in the American league and did really, really well with it with the Rangers; he made the All-Star team as a DH!

He' s back with the Giants, so I'm embracing the DH stuff so I can watch him bat daily (for this weird season only). He's arguably the most entertaining batter in MLB to watch

Was there long time ago on our honeymoon trip.

So, who wears their bb pants shorter, Hunter Pence or Carlos Santana?

Hunter Pence is 6'4", while Carlos Santana is a mere 5'11", so even if the pants were the same length, Hunter Pence shows a WHOLE lot more color.

One could make the argument Hunter Pence started the new trend, and I was amused how many Ranger players were sporting long socks by the end of last season.
