CHICAGO – After one of its strangest seasons ever, baseball returns to a full schedule this year. The All-Star Game is back.
Fans are back, too, at least small crowds in some places. And an Iowa cornfield is about to welcome a bunch of special visitors.
Here are a handful of dates to mark on the calendar: THURSDAY, APRIL 1 Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees: Opening day begins in the Bronx, with George Springer and the Blue Jays taking on DJ LeMahieu and the Yankees.
Springer finalized a $150 million, six-year deal with Toronto in January, part of an active offseason for the Blue Jays. He batted .265 with 14 homers and 32 RBIs during his final year in Houston.
