"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. “And know that this will not be forever.”Like professional sports, the Little League shut down gameplay due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19. Major League Baseball in early March suspended its spring training games and delayed the start of its season.
