The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak had caused cancellations and rampant repercussions everywhere, but there were no updates on what Major League Baseball planned to do when I woke up at 5 a.m. and checked my phone. At that point, I boarded alongside cautiously optimistic baseball fans thinking there was a slim chance these spring training games might happen. The plane wasn't full, but it was full enough that the two seats next to me were swooped up by Giants fans.
