Inside a former Manhattan television studio, the scaffolding has come down and Major League Baseball's first retail store opens Friday across from Radio City Music Hall in a part of Midtown Manhattan largely emptied by the coronavirus pandemic. The commissioner's office moved across town from Park Avenue during the offseason and Baseball Advanced Media came over from the Meatpacking District along with the video review control room where umpires gather to make final decisions on calls. ''It has certainly taken a hit, but we're seeing signs of life,'' MLB chief revenue officer Noah Garden said.
