Finally.

Some baseball will return.

On or about July 23rd or 24th, a 60 game ‘season’ will begin.

How far it will go, what it will be like (compared to an 162 games season), whether it will shortened by the virus, or is it possible there will be fans in the stadiums before the season ends?

No one knows the answers to those and a number of other questions about MLB in 2020.

But we do know some things:

Look at the two articles below, the first outlines the main the guidelines and ‘rules’ under which the teams will compete. The second is an attempt to calculate if a 60 game season will need asterisks in the baseball history books. (Ed. Comment: Of course it will, but for those of you who like to get into the ‘weeds’ of baseball, it’s an interesting look at how 60 games can be compared to 162 games.)

What We Know So Far About the 2020 MLB Season by Jason Stark, The Athletic, June 23, 2020.

60 Games Aren’t Enough to Crown the Best MLB Team. But Neither Are 162 Games by Neil Paine, FiveThirtyEight, June 24, 2020.

Whether or not you read either of these articles, I need your suggestions for a three question MillersTime Baseball Contest for 2020.
