Fifteen Baseball Jokes ~ Friday Humor

Playball! Yesterday marked the return of the men of summer. In 2020, the Covid pandemic cast its shadow over the season, reducing its length to 60 games. Several teams were impacted by virus breakouts.


Cardboard cutouts replaced fans in the stands. Recordings of cheering fans were played over stadium loudspeakers. Vendors yelling, “Get your popcorn, pretzels, and beer” were laid off. One bright spot was my favorite team the Atlanta Braves came within one win of going to the World Series. 

This year’s season is welcomed with a full schedule of 162. While stadiums will only be full to 33% capacity it is a major step toward returning to normal. Enjoy these 15 baseball jokes.
