The Washington Nationals have decided that they won't raise their 2019 World Series banner until fans are able to attend games.

It has become increasingly unlikely that fans will be able to attend games due to the coronavirus pandemic, if Major League Baseball finds a way to resume play in 2020.

"I think as far as raising the banner and the distribution of rings, we're going to wait for our fanbase to be involved to do those types of things," Mike Rizzo said. "Those are once-in-a-lifetime things to do and our fanbase is such a big factor in helping us win that thing. They earned it, they deserve to be involved in it and we're going to wait for them to do it."
