Yesterday we were out and heard a game on the radio. We figured it was a replaying. We didn’t leave it on to find out, but it was warming to hear the announcers voice calling a play.

During WWII FDR thought it was essential that baseball continue. If major leaguers will not play I suggest we
get top minor leaguers or college players and televise a weekly baseball game. We could put people in the
stands in a socially distant way. I think many would watch, being starved for entertainment.

The ratings for the Tiger/Peyton Manning vs Mickelson/Tom Brady was off the charts. People want some live sports.
