MLB fans made the same joke about Derek Jeter allowing reduced capacity at Marlins games

Walked right into that one.

Last MLB season, every game — with the exception of the NLCS and World Series — was played behind closed doors as baseball tried to manage an abbreviated season amid a global pandemic.

And while the coronavirus pandemic is still very much an ongoing crisis, sports leagues across the U.S. have allowed fans to attend games at reduced capacities. That appears to also be the case for the 2021 MLB season.

But you have to feel for the Miami Marlins. They walked right into the joke.

On Monday, Marlins chief executive Derek Jeter announced that the team will open Marlins Park at 20 percent capacity to start this season. That would be just over 7,300 fans.

In 2019, the Marlins averaged 10,016 fans per game as the listed attendance. So, you could probably imagine how baseball fans reacted to Jeter’s news.

Poor Marlins.
