If all else fails there’s always video games. NBA2k20 and MLB The Show 20 are available if need something more realistic. Bonus: you get to see all your favorite players in action, well sort of…
Remember sports fans this won’t last forever and when sports are back we will all appreciate them just a little bit more than we already do.
