The Central Ohio MABL held a zoom meeting to discuss the current situation and thoughts about the upcoming season once restrictions are lifted or relaxed that would allow baseball to return.
At this time, the Governor has not released any timeline or guidelines that would allow for baseball to return. For baseball or any recreational activity to return, the Governor would have to amend his orders on gatherings (currently at ten persons).
The League is looking at the following:
- Start and Finish: a full scheduled season
- Start and Finish: a partial scheduled season
- Date of no return: a date on the calendar that does not allow for a season in 2020
Any chance for a return to the field in 2020 is based on:
- Lifting of restrictions on recreational activity
- Field Availability
- Time to "get back into baseball" before Opening Day
- Player / Team Availability
- ( how has COVID-19 affected teams and players (health, employment, their family, etc.)
Understand, I want nothing more than the Central Ohio MABL to return to the field this season. 2020 is an important milestone for the league, but the league is at the mercy of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current situation.
The League is following other leagues in the Country to see what their plans are and most are in the same storm as us. Most leagues have a tentative opening day at the end of May or into June at this point. Weather and field availability will be huge factors to consider going forward.
