WASHINGTON (AP) In case anyone thought, or at least hoped, the new baseball season would go off without a coronavirus-related hitch, there was bad news on opening day:
The Washington Nationals game against the New York Mets was postponed Thursday after at least three of the 2019 World Series champions’ players tested positive for COVID-19.
“We’re still in the midst of a pandemic, and people need to still take this seriously. Unfortunately, it hit us, and we’ve got to take care of our own now,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. All I can say is: Be safe, continue to wear your masks like they ask and know that this still can happen to anyone. It’s tough for us right now, but we’re going to get through it.”

FILE - In this Nov. 8, 2017, file photo, former sports radio host Craig Carton speaks to members of the media after his arraignment in federal court in New York. A fraud victim of Carton told a judge he s not properly paying restitution after his criminal conviction, but Carton s lawyer says the claim is not true. Carton returned to WFAN in November 2020, five months after his release from prison following a conspiracy and fraud conviction. A trial revealed that Carton solicited and then largely gambled away nearly $7 million.Julie Jacobson/AP
