that is a seriously bad idea. No way.
Airplanes, airports, busses, lodging, locker rooms, weight rooms, food service, etc.


It would be voluntary, and no attendance. Could stay in one area for games, accessible by bus, as is the current plan for MLB in arizona I thinks.
Consider over 50,000 hospital and health workers who risk their lives daily working with it, I just thought maybe a thousand volunteers playing live baseball might help morale at a much lower risk.
One thing tho is sweat, which might be offensive to some since covid is spread by co-mingling moistness. So play the games in the north in the mornings, where sweaty forearms touching others might send recipients into conniption fits, would be less common. Arizona does have dry heat tho, dunno if this in itself eliminates sweaty body parts.
