Baseball teaches lessons all the
time, even when it’s not trying to or wants to teach something else
entirely. That was clear on the news
last night.
The TV reporter wanted us to be
all excited that baseball—with fans in the stands!—was coming back. Only it was minor-league baseball, and
independent minor-league baseball at that.
Still, be excited, or so the story advised. Why, the team owner even talked about the algorithm
his people were using to ensure social distancing when fans purchased
tickets. He didn’t say anything about
his players, though.
And the TV reporter didn’t talk to
any players. Do they feel safe? Kris Bryant doesn’t, but he’s a major
leaguer. That sure seems to be the
lesson here.
