Professional baseball is back! In South Korea, that is. The Korea Baseball Organization kicked off its season on Tuesday a little differently: empty stadiums and officials, coaches and players wearing masks and gloves. It's a completely different atmosphere for a league that's used to raucous crowds, dramatic bat flips and full-throated sing-alongs. South Korea was able to flatten its COVID-19 curve quickly and effectively, which allowed baseball to return. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans joins us to talk about opening day in Korea and what sets its league apart from MLB. Then, we'll talk with Sung Min Kim who works on the R and D team for the Lotte Giants in Busan about how the players and other personnel are handling a return to baseball amid a global pandemic.
