2020 Season Like Having 20/20 Vision During Mad Dog 20/20 Fever Dream

When MLB shutdown on March 13th, we all assumed the season would start up again by April. It was just down for a few weeks, we figured. Baseball would continue, as it always would. Then we were boarded-up into our homes, and baseball wouldn't return until...June, right? June would be fine, we thought. 100 games they could play, and we could all have some semblance of a season. A distraction during darker times. Then June 1st came and went and we were like, "They can still get 100 games in if they start on that magical day:  July 4th." Of course, we thought, Rob Manfraud is secretly a genius and the season would start back on our nation's greatest holiday. The day that saw the birth of George Washington, Ben Franklin, Rob Thomas, literally every great American's birthday. July dot dot dot Fourth. Fireworks and baseball, and everyone would stand, one hand over their mouth, one hand outstretched so no one was within six feet, and baseball would rise from the ashes like Joaquin Phoenix. Then that passed, and it became clear MLB would start with no fans just to get in the bare minimum of a season as a precursor for their real moneymaker, the playoffs. Finally, when games began, there was a DH in the NL; 7-inning games; runners starting innings on 2nd, and teams shutting down for a week with protocol breaches. Ah, yes, wonderful, terrific protocol breaches. Yet, through all that, we preserved through the craziest fantasy baseball season on record. And on wax, if you're old school. If you made it to this point, you deserve congratulations. Doesn't matter if you won your league or not. You deserve kudos for just getting through this season (two months). Also, because I'm in an especially touchy-feely mood, I don't thank all of you enough. Without you, it would just be me making stupid baseball jokes, snorting and--Well, it is all of that, but with you it makes it feel like we're all in this together. My over-the-internet friends. Be well and safe all offseason. I'll be here, churning out offseason content and hoping for a slightly more normal 2021. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
