What’s on deck for benched Little Leaguers once the country pulls through the coronavirus crisis? A return to the field, President Trump said Saturday in a Twitter pep talk.
"To all our youth who are missing the start of their [Little League] seasons, hang in there! We will get you back out on the fields, and know that you will be playing baseball soon," Trump wrote.
The Little League International Board of Directors in mid-March advised all of its 6,500 local baseball leagues to suspend or delay their seasons until at least May 11.
“In the meantime, take care of mom and dad,” the president wrote Saturday. “And know that this will not be forever.”
