Baseball Please Come Back

We all miss sports so much. The action, the competitiveness, the unpredictability, the thrills, there is just nothing like live sports. I have absolutely hated the fact that we have not live had sports. No sport exemplifies this like the fact that we don't have baseball right now. Baseball is America's pastime, it is the sport of the spring and summer, and now it can be America's hope. We need baseball and this country needs to do what is necessary to make it happen.

That may mean playing games without fans.

That may mean changing divisions.

That may mean the American League having to have pitchers hit.

That may mean the National League having to have a DH.

That likely will mean no American League or National League at all.

Whatever that may entail, it needs to be done. America needs baseball.

Baseball helped America out of the Great Depression. Baseball helped America after World War 2, heck many baseball players even served in the war effort. More recently, baseball greatly helped the country after 9/11. Now, it is time to let baseball help a country that has been terribly affected by this pandemic. Everything is shutdown, we may be shutout, but we need baseball.

We need the sound of the bat hitting the ball.
We need to see the pitch cross the plate.
We need to see the plays.
We need to see somebody making a catch.
We need to see people having fun on the grass.
We need to see runs crossing the plate.
We need baseball.

This country needs something to cheer for. Even if it is not how we picture it. Even if its not how we are used to it. Even if its just through a TV screen, this country needs baseball.

I don't care that the Orioles will finish near the bottom of the entire league. I wish I could go to the games, but I will live without. It will be much harder to live without it in its entirety. Please give me baseball however you can.

One day we will get to go back, hopefully sooner rather than later, but please keep it here for us. Please give us baseball.

Any baseball this year will be a plus. I need baseball, especially on the 4th of July. Need to see my summertime sport. I may not be able to go to a game with the family like the past few years, but at least let me see a game.

Put all the games on tv, minor leagues too. Anything. Just give us what we want.

Please give us baseball.
