A day after Major League Baseball shutters spring training camps and two days after the global pandemic coronavirus causes the cancellation of spring training games and delay of opening day, the remaining baseball writers covering the Cardinals in Jupiter, Fla., gather to discuss how to cover a game with not games, a sports without competition, a team in a time of national emergency.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel joins sports columnist Ben Frederickson, MLB.com beat writer Anne Rogers, and baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss the parallels he's seen in his four decades of covering the game.
Also discussed is where spring left the Cardinals, the odd sensation of watching a game that shouldn't have been played, and, to close, some of the best opening day memories they have. Where does sports writing now fit into the upended daily lives of readers, and what role do sports writers have -- providing information and providing distraction?
The Best Podcast in Baseball is brought to you weekly by Closets by Design (1-800-BY-DESIGN), and it is a production of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
