Opening day, when it happens, has a chance to be the best ever in St. Louis. We try to keep a positive attitude about the current state of baseball. Ben Fred tells us Tony La Russa's take on the hiatus and he compares it to the return after 9/11. Ben also realizes he's taken baseball, and all sports, for granted in his short time writing on them. "There's beauty in the routine-ness of it."

Adam Wainwright and his wife, Jenny, have made a significant contribution to More Than Baseball, an organization trying to help minor league baseball players during the COVID-19 halt. We talk about why they felt the need to do that and other players also contributing to the cause.

We switch gears to talk Eli Drinkwitz and Mizzou's football plans now. They've made an appeal to fans to be wise about the current situation and how they've made changes to abide.
