Major League Baseball is finally underway in America after games restarted last Friday.
Regarded as the U.S. national pastime, games are now being played but at this stage crowds are not allowed.
Normally teams play 162 games in a season but this year the 30 MLB clubs will instead play a 60 game season.
In an effort to speed up play and prevent overtaxing pitchers, extra-inning play will begin with a runner on second base.
Major League Baseball teams will fly across the country and play in their own stadiums.
Further changes include the banning of spitting or licking fingers – which includes saliva, sunflower seeds, peanut shells and tobacco, is prohibited at all times in club facilities and on the field.
MLB has also said pitchers may no longer lick their fingers while on the mound in a bid to get a better grip on the ball but may instead carry a wet rag in their back pocket.
New Zealand’s Director-General of Health, Dr Bloomfield, has had a busy weekend.
Firstly, he has had a rhino in Africa named after him.
The naming comes after Kiwi company, Part Time Rangers, announced it had donated $38,900 to Rhinos Without Borders to help support a newborn rhino in Botswana. The money will support the animal during its first three years of life in the wild.
The donation allowed the company to choose the young animal’s name. On Friday of last week the company revealed the rhino would be called Ashley Bloomfield.
Following this announcement Dr Bloomfield was a star player in the annual Parliament rugby game. Bloomfield was selected as the Number 7 in the Centurions XV invitational side that played against the Parliamentary XV.
Bloomfield, who had been referred to as the “The Eliminator” for the game was the subject of cheers and photographs from starstruck locals. As you would expect from Dr Bloomfield he helped his side beat the New Zealand Parliamentary Rugby Team 19-10.
