Basebell in the Time of the Coronavirus

This is President Franklin D. Roosevelt's letter to Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, asking that baseball go on during World War II.

"I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going," wrote FDR.

Our political leadership in this day and age should read this letter as a reminder that baseball should go on in even the toughest of times.

Ninety feet between the bases is enough social distancing for me.

Play ball!
