With Coronavirus cases particularly severe in the case of Washington state, its Governor Jay Inslee has announced a ban of gatherings of more than 250 people.
This announcement directly affects the Seattle Mariners who are now looking for somewhere else to play their first few home games. The Mariners are scheduled to open the 2020 season on March 26th with a four game series against the Texas Rangers following by a three game series against the Minnesota Twins.
Would they play in Oregon? Or could they reach an agreement to remain in T-Mobile Park, but agree to play in front of an empty ballpark.
Whatever their arrangement, I have a feeling it will last past April 1st. Inslee estimates Washington could have 64,000 cases of Coronavirus by May.
Yet I think it is important the Mariners play somewhere. Washingtonians will need something to keep their mind off this pandemic.
