In places around the world where the COVID-19 pandemic is past its worst point, sports are slowly starting to trickle back into everyday life.

Of course, no matter how safe the region is, all sports are still being played without fans in the crowd.

So far, we’ve seen some interesting ways of covering up the emptiness in arenas, but none as adorable and cuddly as Korean baseball has found, which is to fill the stands with stuffed animals.

We’re serious. And we’re very happy about it.
