\nNEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -Another Major League Baseball game has been put on hold because of the coronavirus. Friday\u2019s St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers game was postponed after two Cardinals players tested positive for the virus. MLB is hoping to make up the game in a double header on Sunday. It\u2019s the 15th game postponed because of the coronavirus. The Yankees will finally open up their season at home Friday night. It\u2019s against their rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Normally, fans would flock to the stadium. If you looked around there Friday, you wouldn\u2019t know it was opening day, reported CBS2\u2019s Kevin Rincon. There\u2019s no crowds, no vendors. It\u2019s different not just outside, but also inside. The Yankees have played a handful of games already in empty stadiums. Already a few games had to be postponed after more than a dozen players on the Miami Marlins tested positive for COVID-19. They were playing in Philadelphia. The Phillies never made it here for their series against the Yankees, and the Bronx Bombers might not make it down to Philly next week \u2013 we\u2019ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, the Yankees themselves had a few players test positive before the restart, including pitcher Aroldis Chapman and infielder DJ LeMahieu. To try and stay safe, coaches have been wearing face masks on the field. Outside the stadium, it\u2019s not what we\u2019ve come to expect, the ticket stands are closed. Practically no one was there. One fan told Rincon he\u2019d love for things to be back to normal, but we\u2019re not there yet. \u201cI\u2019d rather be safe than sorry. So many people have died, and New York has come a long, long way from what it\u2019s been, and what the rest of the country is going through,\u201d said Aubrey Pereira. There are plenty of reminders of the economic impact the pandemic has had. There\u2019s a number of businesses that would be cashing in on opening day. Instead, they\u2019re either closed, or struggling to get by.<\/p>\n
