The Chinese Professional Baseball League became the first league to play regular-season baseball in 2020 on Sunday.
The Taiwan-based league was scheduled to begin March 14, but it moved the opener to April 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Rain on Saturday pushed Opening Day to Sunday.
The game was played without fans in the stands. There were, however, some strategically placed robot fans, including some that beat drums to add an aura of atmosphere to the game. (Text and photo courtesy NYPost)
