If the
early results to our
FenwayNation poll are representative of all baseball fans, Major League Baseball had better tread carefully with any plans to play baseball in 2020. As the chart shows, while a majority (55%) do
support some form of baseball being played this year, a substantial minority (45%)
oppose it. That's hardly an overwhelming endorsement. We posed our survey question after two guest columnists (
Bill Collins for
the 'Yes' side;
Gary Morgenstein for
the 'No' side) laid out the cases for each position. MLB has floated multiple plans for having some sort of abbreviated 2020 season—from playing all games in Arizona and Florida to a re-configured 'home stadium' division system based on geography and limited travel. In addition, it's unclear whether owners and players can agree on a host of thorny compensation and revenue-sharing issues. In the meantime, 2020 is rapidly slipping away.
