The 2020 Major League Baseball season is on hold due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Thursday, March 26 was supposed to be Opening Day for every baseball team, but instead we are left with some uncertainty as to when baseball returns to our lives. For now, we can all dream of what Opening Day would have looked like for our favorite teams had this outbreak not occurred.
To celebrate the launch of "MLB The Show 20," the 15th anniversary of the Sony video game franchise, below you'll be able to watch a simulation of your favorite team on Opening Day, along with a box score and notable performances. Enjoy:
