Lightfoot can see baseball returning to Chicago this summer, but without fans – Chicago Sun-Times

A Sox season ticket holder, Lightfoot said a decision on when and how baseball will return will be made “at the league level” — not by individual team owners nor by the governors and mayors of individual states and cities.
