Major League Baseball has made the questionable decision to try to play a plague-shortened season, endangering lives to try to salvage some revenue for the year. Teams will play a geographically restricted schedule in empty stadiums, if they have a stadium to play in at all — the Toronto Blue Jays have so far been denied permission to play in Toronto and Pittsburgh because of the health risks the MLB’s scheme has been judged to represent. To simulate the conditions of games with spectators on hand, cardboard cut-outs are being placed in the seats at some stadiums, and crowd noise is being pumped through the PA system (something that typically happens even when live fans are present).
