    Ugh. The National League has played every year since Ulysses S. Grant was president, through two world wars, terrorism, contraction, player strikes, you name it. If baseball is played in 2020, there should be National League baseball.https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1255236096956522508 …

        Pittsburgh does not have an MLB team, so we don't care

        Is this just a backdoor way to slip the abomination known as the Designated Hitter into the National League?

        Once I would have gotten fired up about this but since interleague play became an everyday occurrence, any notion of the leagues having distinct identities was lost. Yes, there's the DH, but it seems only a matter of time before it becomes universal.

        Seems like they are just floating various trail balloons to see how people respond. I mean I'm so desperate for baseball at this point that I would watch Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez play catch for 3 hours. But this certainly wouldn't be the same.

        All you need for baseball (the game itself) to be safe is for infielders to be masked up. Maybe the catcher and home plate ump, if you gonna be nuts about it.

        The Braves have played every year since 1870, longest streak by any professional sports team in the world. Need to keep that going, although I think it already has, since they did play games in spring training.

        Sneaky way to force the DH on both leagues?

        Did Bud “Let’s Call the All-Star League A Tie” think up this monstrosity? Baseball is meant to be played outdoors on natural grass. The designated hitter is an abomination. The NL and AL are not conferences; they are separate Leagues. You don’t save baseball by abolishing it.
