The long-anticipated start of the 2020 MLB season is now less than three weeks away. Teams, players and fans are super excited about America’s Pastime finally returning amid the growing pandemic.

The sights and sounds of baseball’s return as teams take to their home venues for Spring Training 2.0 is what every sports fan needs. Check out some of the best images and videos from the early stages of the league’s return to action.

NL MVP candidate Ronald Acuna Jr. looks ready

One of the best young players in the game, Acuna Jr. hit .280 with 41 homers, 101 RBI, 37 steals and an .883 OPS last season. He’s looking to help Atlanta contend with the Los Angeles in the National League.

Yankees are pumped to be back

Having not won a World Series since all the way back in 2009, the Yankees are right up there with the Dodgers as the odds-on favorites this season. Can you tell they are happy to be back?
