Baseball is back.

He doesn't want a super spreader out there in the middle of the field.

The season is different.

On the field, in the socially distant clubhouse and the empty stands. You guys wanted to do it, but wanting to do it for a month. There's a lot to talk about. Who are you kidding? Don't give me all that bull crap. And this is the place to do it. This is the baseball reporters with Tony Mass. Brought to you by Big Why. Safety Insurance.
