Will you return to baseball after another strike?
Posted By: darthshoeless
Just trying to get a feel about this topic--many of my friends say no. I myself would find it very difficult to return to watching them if they strike again. Any thoughts? |

I agree with you 100% but I'm afraid we are the SMALL minority here. Remember watching the news after the last strike? Lots of coverage of fouls and home run balls landing in empty seats. |

When this kind of crap happens, I tend to get even more nostalgic, thinking about how I "perceived" the game in the '60s and '70s. It makes me realize how little I like it now. When I lived in Houston I went to about 25-30 games a year. When I lived in Dallas, even more - including the 10 or so a year that I flew to using my flight benefits. But when the strike hit a couple of years after I moved to Atlanta, and Tom Glavine was the players spokesperson, I basically quit going. I still go to a game when I'm in another city, and I still watch on t.v. some, but I have very little respect for these multimillionaires with their gold crosses hanging out of their ears, their whining about not wanting to play in both games of a double-header, or in an afternoon game following a night game, their contract incentives for personal stats rather than team stats. And Bud Selig makes me sick as well. No, this isn't the same game you grew up with. And I predict that the next strike will not harm the vintage market in any great way, but will kill the "refractor-age" cards. Wouldn't that be nice? |

But this year the prices did. Not the tickets (they're still the best deal among the major sports), the rest of it. Fox has jacked up the prices of the parking and concessions so much that Dodger Stadium is painful to attend, so I dropped my firm tickets this year. I felt like I'm handing out 20's at the turnstiles. Especially after going to a D'Backs game last year--slightly lower prices and MUCH better concessions. Still, my daughter (bless her) asked me the other day when we were going to the baseball game again, so I'll be back. |

but if the fans quit going to games, I feel that it will put some pressure on both sides to come up with an agreement. |
