South Korea finds a way to bring back baseball
This ongoing photo series examines the ways the coronavirus pandemic has upended and reshaped athletes' lives.
The Korea Baseball Organization, the highest level of baseball in South Korea, is scheduled to begin Tuesday -- making it one of the first major professional sports leagues to return to action during the coronavirus pandemic. Four-time Korean Series champion SK Wyverns and the nine other KBO teams have been playing intrasquad games without fans in the seats -- an emptiness that will be felt at an even more elevated level when the regular season begins this week.
“We didn't know how precious everyday life is so far, but now we know. At least COVID left us this lesson.”
