The thread is going on as it is. Just because I like of dislike something, if it is related to what we talk about, makes no difference in the forum threads though I don't want to start one about this subject. And I really don't want to debate my reasoning but I lost a lot back in 1994 when the rest of the last of the season and playoffs were canceled-
and a blurb from wiki-
The rest of the season, including the World Series, was called off by Bud Selig on September 14.[14] Selig acknowledged that the strike had torn an irreparable hole in the game's fabric.[14] The move to cancel the rest of the season meant the loss of $580 million in ownership revenue and $230 million in player salaries. In 1994, the average MLB salary was an estimated $1.2 million.

I don't think most of today's players are good role models and are whiny overpaid athletes that should make a small percentage of what they do. (and this from a capitalist).....There are a few exceptions but overall those are my feelings since 22 yrs ago.... I still love the game though and love to watch minor league and college baseball. My feelings permeate most other professional sports too.

Why can't you stand MLB today? I'm sure there can be a lot to discuss in that thread if you do decide to make it.
