It is with much regret that the Harrisburg Senators announce today that the 2020 baseball season has been cancelled by Minor League Baseball. The Senators had been preparing for a delayed 2020 baseball season but were unable to move forward due to the many impediments created by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The cancellation applies to all 160 affiliated Minor League teams throughout the country.
“In the end, there were just too many obstacles to overcome,” said Kevin Kulp, Senators team president. “The safety of our players, fans, and staff is of the utmost concern and ultimately Minor League Baseball decided to cancel the 2020 season. We’re very sad about this news and there will be many hurdles to overcome between now and Opening Day 2021 next April. However, I assure you, the Harrisburg Senators will persevere and be ready for next season. We are proud of the role we play in the Central Pennsylvania community and from this day forward we will be working to make the 2021 season very special.”
The Senators business office remains open Monday through Friday, 9am-4pm. The front office staff are available and happy to answer any questions that the community may have. Fans can also view an updated COVID FAQ page here.
“These are unprecedented times and everybody has been immensely impacted by this pandemic,” said Kulp. “Minor League Baseball has been affected to an extreme degree due to the seasonality of our business. Together, with the support of the community, we’ll get past this barrier and get back to what we do best - providing affordable family entertainment to the residents of Central PA.”
