The reality of COVID19 is hitting several universities in the form of baseball programs being terminated.

The players and their families are fighting to keep their baseball programs alive. You can read more about their fight via their Twitter pages:

1) Furman University: twitter - @SaveFurmanBSBL and #SaveFUBaseball
2) Bowling Green State University: twitter - #SAVEBGSUBASEBALL
3) Chicago State University: twitter - @savecsubaseball

Just tragic. Where do these players go now? Why is GHSA opening up HS's for football conditioning, and colleges going ahead with football and baseball remains sidelined? Talks continue with the MLB yet the NBA is set to play at Disney. Is this some type of effort to do away with America's past time?

You can get a hair cut or Tatoo, or go to summer camp, but cannot play baseball. Gov. Kemp wake the hell up!

These kids deserve better.
