And of course baseball has been a dying game forever.

The NY Mets were valued at less than 400M in 1995. Today they are valued at over $2.5B.

The Boston Red Sox franchise was valued at about 325M in 1995. Today worth over 3 billion.

The Yankees were valued at at less than 600M in 1995. Estimated about 4.6B today.

Something tells me these guys aren't fools.

amazing but not shocking facts.

They all will recover and make plenty of money from it regardless on the end result of the new CBA

At least the work stoppage didn't start during the season. Let's hope they get this resolved quickly. Baseball can ill afford a mass exodus of fans.

Gotta figure, the best time for a sports work stoppage is during the off-season.
