NEW YORK - Players may have to skip the showers and spitting will not be allowed under guidelines proposed by Major League Baseball to bring America’s pastime back during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As many as 10,000 coronavirus tests would be conducted per week for participants in games, according to the report, with spitting and fistbumps prohibited, and hand sanitizing required every half-inning. There will also be limits on who is allowed to sit in the dugout during games, in order to help maintain social distancing, with inactive players sitting in stands and elsewhere, six feet apart, inside otherwise empty stadiums.
