Agree that we may witness shorter MLB games in our lifetime. Would expect little league, high school, MiLB ball to shorten game - which may have already occurred - before we see MLB games reduce number of innings per game.
BTW didnt see it mentioned but was surprised that, for now, appears that MLB will not play games without fans present. Heres some requirements that are stipulated:
- There are no bans on mass gatherings that would limit the ability to play in front of fans. However, the commissioner could still consider the "use of appropriate substitute neutral sites where economically feasible";
- There are no travel restrictions throughout the United States and Canada;
- Medical experts determine that there would be no health risks for players, staff or fans, with the commissioners and union still able to revisit the idea of playing in empty stadiums.
