Well as for me I hope they strike! What better way for these guys to hurt their wallets and their egos? I think a strike will be great for the sports fan , I too like Baseball but the prices are insane , not only the stuff they call 'food' but the ticket prices are out of control! After this season we will no longer support the overpaid salary of the enitre league in itself . Our season tickets will be up for grabs, Edison Field Section - F121 , Row M, Seats 4,5,6,7 @ $45.00 each is just a lil too much ta pay when these guys wont play with a hang nail !
As we already know "WE" do pay their salary and can do somthing about it, Yes I know that it will take several seasons to hurt them to the point of doing something about it but I have all the time in the world do they?, As Belle said, " let them play in a empty park for all I care" This may just be the pill to cure if not only sedate the sickness that is baseball today. I enjoy the game and as a family we have fun at the ball park, But we have found another and less expensive way to enjoy baseball, We simply drive 30 min into Rancho Cucamonga and see the minor league teams play, I have to admit I have had a much better time there then at any major league park. The players , officials , employees, and the fans are some of the nicest people at 1/4 of the price. They let you know as soon as you get in the parking lot that you are a big part of what they do and where the want to go. An autograph for the kids ? hell yes from all the players if you want and it's free!! What you dont have a tailgate and you wanna BBQ? Great no need to Have a tailgate They supply the picnic tabels here!
