America Held Hostage: The Strike Continues

If major league baseball begins (next) season using replacement players instead of striking players, it won’t be the first time that games are played without the best players on the field. It would be similar to the decades before 1947 when Jackie Robinson began the end of the exclusion of black players from the majors.

Hey, if Peter O’Malley wanted to sell Dodger Stadium to Al Davis, he didn’t have to help the other owners destroy major league baseball to do it.

I have a solution to the baseball strike. I propose the players’ union assume all responsibility for the finances and operation of the ballclubs and pay the owners an extremely high salary.

This should satisfy both sides. The owners would be assured of a profit and the union could run the teams.
