America's national pastime is on tin verge of its eighth labor stoppage in »ts illustrious histo ry. ns n new collective bargain ing agreement between the own ers (greedy) and the players (even greedier) has not vet been rea< tied lx peris and insiders are pre dicting that an agreement will not he reached anytime soon and that the Players' Associa tion. led by IVinald Fehr, could go on strike as soon ns the mid dle of July In order to avoid a strike, the players would have to accept the owners' latest pro posal. whit h includes an eight percent decrease in player rev enue and an end to salary arbi tration Needless to say. the plovers aren't happy iiImiuI hav ing the status quo taken away from them and have turned a i old shoulder on the owners Baseball fans might want to get to the ballparks soon because it looks like the hoys of summer might be taking an early vni a tion. For fans of baseball, the impacts of another strike are obvious Baseball is not like oth er sports In that you can t call replacement workers (affection ately known as "scabs" in union lingo) m to continue the season. Jm Marion A strike this year could be extremolv detrimental to base ball Ixwause two pi,avers Ken Griffey, Jr of the Seattle Mariners and Frank Thomas of the Chu ago White Sox both have outside < ham es at break ing Roger Maris' single season home run record of fit Howev er, their shot to rewrite the record book will probably nev er materialise because they and their money-hungry peers can't live with $7 to $11.7 billion of Major league Baseball's revenue over the next seven years Go figure Although the players seem to be the ones to blame for this mess, it's the owners who hove set the precedent by allowing their workers disgustingly lucra tive contracts time and time again. Kvery time Griffey gets a new contract, then Thomas wants u new one. and so will Harry Bonds This is the pattern that owners have let take place and it has caused salaries to spi ral upward over since. Also, recent history shows that the owners will give in to the players' demands if a strike 1*1 urs This fact offers the Flay ers' Association no incentive to try to prevent a strike. If the stoppage is long enough, the players will most likely get what they want In the business of Major l.eague Baseball, the employees call all the shots It's a c lassie c ase of the tail wagging the dog You would think that all this muss would drive fans awn\ from the ballpark, but that hasn't occurred Attendance at major league ballparks is at an all-time high as ticket prices continue to rise. Every time a player sits out because of a cen tral t dispute, you will bear fans complain about “those high priced bums’' and yet these same fans still attend the games If the owners continue to make more money in ticket sales, the fans can t exp«< I any improvement in how they han dle that revenue. As it stands now, neither the players or the owners are held accountable for inefficient business practices. Somewhere along the line, that has to change No business could possibly operate like Major League Bate* ball. The saddest part of this impending strike is that the only people affected are the fans. After all this has passed, the owners and the players will still he dirt rich. The only thing we can do is forget about them and fix.us on what the game of base ball is really all about. Baseball is about the kid who shows up two hours early to the ballpark in the hope of getting an auto graph. It's about the Little league World Series, and about parents playing catch with their children on a Saturday after noon. This is America's national pastime in its purest form. The spoiled brats of summer will go on squabbling about dollar fig ures whether they strike or not. Meanwhile, kids of all ages will continue to enjoy the game they love. Maylx! the pros could learn a lesson or two from them. laff Marion is an advertising account executive at the Emer ald.
