The start of baseball season has been delayed by strikes and lockouts. A pandemic? This will be a first.
Spring training facilities have closed down two weeks before opening day and the new start has been pushed back until at least May. KC Star Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy discusses how spring training was unfolding in Surprise, Ariz., and how some veteran talent provided encouraging signs in the bullpen.
You won’t hear “Play Ball” for a while, but you can definitely hear Lynn and Blair Kerkhoff talk baseball on this episode of the SportsBeat KC podcast.
