If the protests had driven an explosion in cases, experts say, the jumps would have started to become apparent within two weeks — and perhaps as early as ﬁve days. But that didn’t happen in many cities with the largest protests, including New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C. In what’s considered the ﬁrst systematic look at the question, a team of economists determined that only one of 13 cities involved in the earliest wave of protests after Memorial Day had an increase that would ﬁt the pattern. It was Phoenix, where experts say cases and hospitalizations surged after a decision by Gov. Doug Ducey to end Arizona’s stay-at-home order on May 15 and eased restrictions on businesses. Arizona residents who were cooped up for six weeks ﬂooded Phoenix-area bar districts, ignoring social distancing guidelines. In many cities, the protests actually seemed to lead to a net increase in social distancing, as more people who did not protest decided to stay off the streets, said that study’s lead author, Dhaval Dave of Bentley University. “The large-scale protests can impact both the behavior of the protesters and the behavior of the non-protesters,” said Dave. The paper was released last week by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, the minor league governing body founded in September 1901, made the long-expected announcement. The minors had never missed a season. “We are a fans-in-the-stands business. We don’t have national TV revenues,” National Association president Pat O’Conner said during a digital news conference. “There was a conversa- tion at one point: Well, can we play without fans? And that was one of the shortest conversations in the last six months. It just doesn’t make any sense.” O’Conner estimated 85-90% of revenue was related to ticket money, concessions, parking and ballpark advertising. The minors drew 41.5 million fans last year for 176 teams in 15 leagues, averaging 4,044 fans per game. MLB teams are planning for a 60-game regular season and most of their revenue will derive from broadcast money. “I had a conversation with the commissioner, and we weren’t unable to ﬁnd a path that allowed us to play games,” O’Conner said. “It wasn’t an acrimonious decision on our Teams not able to disclose who goes on IL due to virus By Joe Reedy Associated Press Trying to ﬁnd out the status of a baseball player coming back from an ankle injury deﬁnitely will be easier than learning whether someone tested positive for the coronavirus. Major League Baseball said Tuesday that a team will not speciﬁcally announce a COVID-19 injured list placement for a player who is removed from the club after testing positive, just an IL trip. MLB’s operations manual says a positive test, exhibiting symptoms that require isolation for additional assessment or exposure to someone who has had the virus are cause for placement on the new COVID-19 IL. “It would be a speculating circumstance,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told media during a conference call. Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement states that for any medical condition not related to employment “a club may disclose only the fact that a medical condition is preventing the player from rendering services to the club and the anticipated length of the player’s absence from the club.” Cashman noted the situation continues to evolve as MLB and the players’ union continue discussions. Testing of players and staff will begin Wednesday as they report to their teams to resume workouts. They will be tested once every two days. Last week, Charlie Blackmon of the Colorado Rockies became the ﬁrst MLB player known to have tested positive. According to reports, the AllStar outﬁelder was one of three Colorado players to have a positive test. Numerous other teams have said they have players who have tested positive for the virus without identifying any of them. The Philadelphia Phillies announced seven, while the Detroit Tigers said one player who was living in Florida but not working out at the team’s spring training facilities in Lakeland also tested positive. Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said a few players have tested positive but declined to specify how many. Several Toronto Blue Jays players and staff members also have tested positive. Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said remaining educated about best practices is going to be crucial for everyone. “Leadership really is going to be the differencemaker for the teams that are able to best handle this and best cope with the challenges that we face,” he said. “And that really is the accountability that needs to be shared by all of us — not just baseball, but our whole society.” Baltimore general manager Mike Elias said the Orioles have had no reported cases and that no one on the team has decided against playing in the shortened season. He’s hoping for a smooth start to the camp that’s scheduled to begin Friday at Camden Yards. “We recognize that this will be ﬂuid and everyone is having to make personal decisions and circumstances might not be fully understood until the season starts, but so far we are expecting full participation,” Elias said. “You see in the news around the league that’s not the case everywhere and I wouldn’t be shocked if that ends up happening, but that’s going to be part of this.” “We’re not pressuring anyone or shaming anyone that feels they shouldn’t be here. We’re making that known, and I think it’s well-received,” Elias added. “Our players have been itching to play for a while. I think the whole delay was frustrating for them, for us, and everyone just wants to go play.” See VIRUS | 6 part.” O’Conner said many minor league teams had received money through the federal Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act. “That was a Band-Aid on a hemorrhaging industry,” he said. “Many of our clubs have gone through one, two, maybe three rounds of furloughs. In our ofﬁce here, we’ve had varying levels of pay cuts between senior management, staff, and we’ve furloughed some individuals, as well, and are just about to enter in a second round of furloughs.” He hopes for passage of H.R. 7023, which would provide $1 billion in 15-year federal loans from the Federal Reserve to businesses that had 2019 rev- enue of $35 million or less and “have contractual obligations for making lease, rent, or bond payments for publicly owned sports facilities, museums, and community theaters.” In addition, the Professional Baseball Agreement between the majors and minors expires Sept.. 30, and MLB has proposed reducing the minimum afﬁliates from 160 to 120. “There’s no question that what the pandemic has done is made us somewhat weaker economically,” O’Conner said. “I don’t think it’s challenged our resolve. I don’t think it’s impacted our desire to stick together and get a good deal.” There have not been substantive talks for about six weeks. “There are very many teams that are not liquid, not solvent, not able to proceed under normal circumstances, and these are anything but normal circumstances given the PBA and the uncertainty of the future for some of these ballclubs,” O’Conner said. “So I think the coronavirus has really cut into many clubs’ ability to make it. And I think that we’re looking at without some government intervention, without doing something to take on equity partners, you might be looking at half of the 160 who are going to have serious problems.” MLB already has told clubs to retain expanded 60-player pools, of which 30 players can be active during the ﬁrst two weeks of the season starting in late July. MVPs say to pull Landis First baseball commissioner’s name is on league MVP award plaque By Ben Walker AP Baseball Writer NEW YORK — Something still bothers Barry Larkin about his Most Valuable Player award. The other name engraved on the trophy: Kenesaw Landis Mountain Landis. “Why is it on there?” said Larkin, the Black shortstop voted National League MVP in 1995 with the Cincinnati Reds. “I was always aware of his name and what that meant to slowing the color line in Major League Baseball, of the racial injustice and inequality that Black players had to go through,” the Hall of Famer said this week. Hired in 1920 as the sport’s ﬁrst commissioner to help clean up rampant gambling, Landis and his legacy are “always a complicated story” that includes “documented racism,” ofﬁcial MLB historian John Thorn said. This much is true, in black and white: No Blacks played in the majors during his quartercentury tenure. Jackie Robinson broke the barrier in April 1947, about 2 1/2 years after Landis died. “Landis is a part of history, even though it was a dark history,” Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said. Fact is, few fans realize Landis’ name is plastered all over the Most Valuable Player trophies. Most people just call it the MVP. But there it is, prominently displayed on every American League and NL MVP plaque since 1944 — Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award, in shiny, gold letters literally twice as big as those of the winner. With a sizable imprint of Landis’ face, too. To some MVPs, it’s David Kohl | AP file Cincinnati Reds’ Barry Larkin takes a curtain call after hitting a pinch-hit grand slam off St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Steve Kline in 2004 in Cincinnati. From the time Larkin collected the 1995 National League Most Valuable Player award, something about the prize bothered him. “I was made aware that Kenesaw Mountain Landis’ name was on it and there was this question: Why is it on there?” Larkin said this week. time for that 75-year run to end. “If you’re looking to expose individuals in baseball’s history who promoted racism by continuing to close baseball’s doors to men of color, Kenesaw Landis would be a candidate,” three-time NL MVP Mike Schmidt of Philadelphia said. “Looking back to baseball in the early 1900s, this was the norm. It doesn’t make it right, though,” said the Hall of Famer, who is white. “Removing his name from the MVP trophy would expose the injustice of that era. I’d gladly replace the engraving on my trophies.” Added 1991 NL MVP Terry Pendleton of Atlanta, who is Black: “This is 2020 now and things have changed all around the world. It can change for the better.” “Statues are coming down, people are looking at monuments and memorials,” he said. “We need to get to the bottom of things, to do what’s right. Yes, maybe it is time to change the name.” “I’ve always thought about that, why is that still on there?” Pendleton said. “No doubt, MVP stands on its own. It doesn’t need a name.” Many hallowed baseball trophies are graced by the names of the greats: Robinson, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Cy Young, Willie Mays, Ted Williams and more. How Landis got etched into the list is easy to trace. A federal judge in Chicago, Landis quickly established his powerful authority as commissioner, banning Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Black Sox for throwing the 1919 World Series. In 1931, Landis decided members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America would pick and present the MVP awards. Before that, the leagues had their own mishmash system. Then during the 1944 World Series, the BBWAA voted to add Landis’ name to the plaque as “an acknowledgement of his relationship with the writers,” longtime BBWAA secretary-treasuer Jack O’Connell said. A month later, Landis died at 78. He soon was elected to the Hall of Fame. “Landis is who he is. He was who he was,” Thorn said. “I absolutely support the movement to remove Confederate monuments, and Landis was pretty damn near Confederate.” Landis’ father, how- ever, was a Union Army surgeon wounded in the Civil War at the battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia, which became the inspiration for the commissioner’s unique name. Born two years later in Ohio — with a slight tweak on the spelling of the mountain — Landis spent time in Indiana and rose to prominence in Chicago. His precise role in racial issues has been debated for decades. Landis broke up exhibitions between Black and white All-Star teams. He invited a group of Black newspaper publishers to address owners in what became a cordial but totally fruitless presentation. Toward the end of his tenure, he told owners they were free to sign Black players. But there is no evidence he pushed for baseball integration, either, as the status quo of segregation remained. “If you have the Jackie Robinson Award and the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Award, you are at diametrically opposed poles,” Thorn said. “And it does represent a conundrum.” O’Connell said no MVP had voiced a complaint to him about Landis since See MVP | 6 �SPORTS 6 Thursday, July 2, 2020 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Youth football signups set for Elks Blue Devil league GALLIPOLIS — The Elks Blue Devil Youth Football League (EFL) will have sign ups on Wednesday, July 8, and Thursday, July 9 from 6-9 p.m. at the Elks Farm on State Route 588.

He said Landis’ name on the plaque wasn’t pledged or part of the BBWAA constitution. Any BBWAA member could raise an objection to Landis’ presence. Normally, that would be discussed at the organization’s next gathering, currently scheduled for December at the winter meetings in Dallas. The coronavirus pandemic has put most everything-baseball related in peril — a 60-game season is set to begin in late July, and MVPs are usually announced in November. O’Connell said if someone raised the issue now, it could be brought up to the board and opened to discussion and a vote. To pull Landis’ name “would be a simple matter of redesigning the plaque,” he said. To Larkin, that would remove the tarnish from the trophy. Larkin recalled that shortly after he was voted MVP, he got a call from two-time NL MVP Joe Morgan. The star Black second baseman of the Big Red Machine talked about Landis’ legacy and “he said it never sat well with him, having that name on there,” Larkin recalled. Larkin agrees. “His name should not be represented on a plaque or award of honor, especially at this day and time,” he said. “If his name was taken off, I would not be opposed to it at all.” JACKSON, Ohio — The Veterans Association at the University of Rio Grande will host their 3rd annual Jim Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 5, at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County.

From page 5 Virus From page 5 Marlins CEO Derek Jeter is hoping the return of baseball can provide some solace, much like the Yankees did when they returned after 9-11. “We were thinking as players, ‘Do we even play? What does it mean? We’re playing a game.’ Talking to family members who had lost family members and them thanking us — ‘What are you thanking us for?’ They said, ‘We’re thanking you because you’re giving us something to cheer for. There haven’t been too many happy days around here,’” Jeter said. “Baseball played a big role, at least in New York, in the healing process.

No new COVID-19 cases were reported in Meigs or Gallia Counties on Wednesday, according to the local health department and state data, although additional recovered cases are being reported in Meigs County. The Meigs County Health Department is now reporting that 9 of the 11 COVID-19 cases, which have been reported in the county, are now “recovered”. Previously, there had been six recovered individuals. This leaves two active cases in the county. To date, there have been nine conﬁrmed and two probable cases in Meigs County. There is also one person who has received a positive antibody test which is not included in the Ohio Department of Health statistics, according to the health department. The majority of the cases in Meigs County have been considered community spread, with one conﬁrmed case and one probable case having reported recent travel to South Carolina, although it is not known if that is where they contracted the virus. The case count in Gallia County remains at 14 (11 conﬁrmed and 3 probable) following new cases announced on Monday by the Gallia County Health Department. To date, all of the cases in Gallia County have been considered community spread. “Surrounding counties are reporting a large increase in active COVID-19 cases, largely associated with travel. The Gallia County Health Department would like to urge residents, traveling or not, to continue following safety guidelines. While out in public please follow social distancing and facial covering guidelines. When traveling for vacation or work we urge you to ‘know before you go’,” read a statement earlier this week from the Gallia County Health Department. “Look up the area statistics on active COVID-19 cases through the County’s Health Department website or social media pages. Exercise caution as much as possible to prevent the transmission and spread to your local community when returning home. If you need tested please contact your primary care provider.” Around the region, Athens County saw an increase of four cases on Wednesday, bringing the total to 37 cases. Nine of the cases in Athens County are considered active, while 27 people have recovered and one death has been reported. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Lawrence County Emergency Management Agency and Health Department are reporting 64 COVID-19 cases in the county, with no additional cases reported on Wednesday.

In West Virginia, Jackson County has reported 143 conﬁrmed cases, Putnam County has reported 57 conﬁrmed cases and one probable case, and Cabell County has reported 126 conﬁrmed cases and four probable cases. As of the 2 p.m. update on Tuesday, Ohio has reported a total of 52,865 cases (conﬁrmed and probable) and a total of 2,876 deaths (conﬁrmed and probable).

We’ve been missing that here in Meigs and surrounding counties.” This endeavor was about a year in the making. First the land was cleared off from what it used to be — a forestry swamp area — and then leveled out. After that, it was clear how much land was there to utilize in a commercial way, and there’s still currently 1.5 acres available for commercial development. “We’d love to see someone else put in a food venue of some kind. It’d be a great location with it being the only exit on U.S. 33 from Ravenswood , W.Va. to Columbus, Ohio that you can easily zip off and get something to eat without having to go through a town and a ton of stop lights.” Baer and his wife thought about adding a Little Ceasers, or Subway, or donut shop to the location, but decided it was just too much to take on on top of the NAPA store and both of them continuing to work their regular jobs.
