Baseball is back, and fans seem rather happy.
MLB and the Players’ Association on Tuesday night reached a deal for the 2020 season. It will include a 60-game season with Opening Day scheduled for either July 23 or July 24 along with a three-phase return.
During Phase 1, players will be divided into small groups while Phase 2 will feature larger group workouts before Phase 3 allows a limited number of exhibition games. The plan will begin July 1.
The development prompted a flurry of Twitter reaction as fans, media and players all showcased their excitement.
Here’s what some had to say:
One month til Opening Day. #BaseballisBack
