Major League Baseball is scheduled to kick off the 2021 regular season on April 1. In some respects, the year will mark a return to normalcy after the pandemic-altered 2020 campaign. Every team is slated to play 162 games, in front of crowds (albeit of varying sizes), and with the intent to serve as one of the 10 teams left standing come October.
