TAMPA, Fla. _ That odd sensation of feeling out of place? It's already struck Aaron Boone.
So, Boone doesn't expect to feel another strange wave on Thursday afternoon, when he was supposed to be managing the Yankees on opening day.
Driving home to Connecticut in mid-March, being away from the ballpark, "it's all been weird and an adjustment," Boone said on Wednesday, what would have been the eve of opening day at Baltimore.
"You get so close to the start of a season and it's not here," Boone said. "That's disappointing, that's frustrating.
"But you also temper it with (the knowledge that) this is all bigger than me and us and baseball," Boone said of a COVID-19 crisis that has impacted daily life around the world.
"Right now is the time to kind of do our part."
