2020 numbers make history
“Major League Baseball is thrilled to announce that the 2020 season is on the horizon,” MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. said in a press release dated June 23, 2020. “We have provided the Players Association with a schedule to play 60 games and are excited to provide our great fans with Baseball again soon.”
With an unprecedented delay of Opening Day by four months, the historic campaign – which finished Sept. 27 – came to a conclusion with a number of unique individual league leaders from its truncated season. Although not the typical six-month marathon baseball fans are accustomed to, the numbers put up by the players will stand alongside other year’s marks.
And some will stand alongside a Hall of Famer.
