Jose Canseco's ‘Bash Brothers' PSA tries to halt spread of coronavirus

Share

A's stars Khris Davis and Mark Canha have been practicing the anti-handshake method for a while now with their celebratory Bash Bro celebrations at home plate. 

So, this doesn't necessarily pertain to them when it comes to dealing with the latest coronavirus pandemic. 

The celebratory act of tapping one another's elbows together originated with the OG Bash Bros back when the A's had Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. And Canseco promoted his own PSA on to remind you to bump elbows rather than shake hands to stop the virus' spread.

And don't forget to wash your hands.

Facetiousness aside, the baseball world has dealt with a lot this week, and at a fast pace, during the spread of COVID-19.

MLB announced on Monday it would be pushing back Opening Day, extending the original two-week delay due to recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which restricts events of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks. This puts the regular season, for now, beginning in May.

"MLB will keep fans updated on decisions regarding plans for the 2020 schedule in the days and weeks ahead," the league said.
