Default Return of barnstorming?

If the season really craps out due to the virus, and we are in June or July, I wonder if baseball would ever consider an AL Allstars vs. NL Allstars "barnstorming" tour. Let people watch the best of the game play 50 games around the country. Broadcast it. Give people their baseball fix. Maybe play a few games at the military academies and other interesting places.

Just an idea.

That would be pretty cool but I doubt teams will want their players to participate due to a potential injury.

What I would pay to see is an old timers tour with a good mix of Hall of Famers and guys we all remember play a six inning game at smaller venues like college stadiums or minor league parks followed up by a few or less expensive autograph opportunity.

It's not quite the barnstorming of the Dizzy and Satchel days, but here's a clip of some current MLB players getting together recently for a Whiffle ball game ...
