Delmarva Shorebirds 2020 Season Shelved

SALISBURY, Md. -- On Tuesday, June 30, 2020, Major League Baseball (MLB) informed Minor League Baseball (MiLB) that it will not be providing its affiliated MiLB teams with players for the 2020 season. As a result, there will not be a MiLB season which includes the Delmarva Shorebirds, who were set to open their 25th anniversary season in 2020 which is now officially shelved.

“We are disappointed that the 2020 season will not be played, but we remain committed to providing a first-class atmosphere while ensuring people’s safety and health when visiting with us,” said Shorebirds General Manager Chris Bitters. “As always, we will continue to support our community during this challenging time and look forward to having Shorebirds baseball back at Arthur W. Perdue stadium in 2021.”

Pathetic decision

There is a concerted effort to destroy our society and these pro sports corporations are a part of it.

Don't worry. De just shut the bars down and required masks everywhere including the beach. Oc will be flooded this weekend. And the numbers will go way up and they can shut down OC too. It's over. Small business is done.

2:45-ummmmm.... huh????? Pro sports is intentionally killing itself? Not likely... more likely they realized they would not make money under the current mandates.

So the 2, count them Mr. Know it all, t-w-o people I know that died from Coronavirus must me make believe to you. Oh you must be one of those ignorant people that only believe something exist unless you experience it first hand. Well, who is the clueless one? You like to spout off like you are the great thinker to ever live. I know your 100 IQ probably impress to you, but it isn't.

Awwww and now that realism has been dropped in your lap. It will be ok BIG guy.

Btw death I do not fear, when I meet my Maker It will be a glorious day indeed. But, only when it is my time.

Awesome! Shut down all the sports. Remember football that everyone was gonna boycott? They the next season everyone should come out and watch the game. People seem to have short memories. I feel for the ball players but we are all in this mess called 2020 together. The stadium will have to push their over priced food next year.

Pretty sure it said they’d be reaching out to season ticket holders about that in a separate communication. Reading isn’t for everybody I suppose.
