MLB’s medical/safety protocols to return to play will include trying to discourage players from spitting, high-fiving and taking ride services such as Uber to the ballpark.
MLB has discussed a variety of these issues with the Players Association, but as of Wednesday night had not officially presented the full medical/safety document to the union.
Even before MLB shut down in mid-March, officials from the Commissioner’s Office were informing players how to mitigate the risk of contracting coronavirus by, for example, not using fans’ writing implements to sign autographs. (Text, photo by NYPost)
