Maybe i t ’s just as well. If the s trik e w ouldn’t have stopped the gam e and made fxith the players and owners look at th e ir situation, the problem would have continued u ntil the game priced itse lf out of existence. Hemember. the fans are going to have to foot the full for tfiose salaries one way or another. It s till may happen. When the s trik e is set tled, tilings may keep on going u n til, one by one. teams go bankrupt It m ay not be that fa r in the future. As it is, baseball (before the strike , anyw ay) has enjoyed a resurgence. A tte n dance has been at a ll-tim e highs, yet many teams haven’t been m aking a ll that much money. Franchises in the m a jo r m arkets Los Angeles, Chicago and New Y ork — have no fin an cia l problems, but teams such as Seattle, Minnesota and others are getting hurt by inflation. The cable television m arket m ay help for a brief tim e, but even that may be a lim ite d benefit. It s hard to go along w ith the owners, who are usually spending a ll tfie ir tim e pinching pennies and shafting the fans at the expense of tfie game But it is equally hard to go on the side of the players, who wish only to sign s h o rt te rm c o n tra c ts , then p r o s titu te themselves to the highest bidder. Money isn , supposed to be the p rim a ry issue, but in the long run it is. W hatever happened to the age when players came up w ith one team and re tire d Irom that same team'* Most athletes today live out of suitcases. I he free agent issue is a tric k y one and both sides seem adam ant. Meanwhile, the strike is dragging on and an end to the p ro blem m ay be a long tim e coming. As usual, it is the fans w ho are doing a ll the suffering. Ih v m a jo r league baseball s trik e has bit the two week m a rk now and sports junkies are going through w ith d ra w a l sym ptom s. Baseball m ay not be the most e xciting s p ir t in the w orld, but it is one you can follow through newspapers. Heading the boxscores every m orn in g is a good way to find out just what went on the previous day, who is l<kading what categories and hxiking ahead to the d a y ’s m atchups I t ’s also a dam n good way to k ill a half- hour or so instead of w orking Without baseball stats, the m orning paper just doesn’t hold much excitem ent anym ore. There have been a lot more feature stories on auto racing la tely and those get m ig h ty old in a hurry. What is the s trik e a ll about? The players and owners are once again at each o th e r’s throats and it looks p re tty serious this tim e I he players say the issue isn’t money, but it re a lly is in an indirect manner. The big issue is the free agent situation I he owners want a team to receive compen sation if one of its players signs w ith another team via the free agent route. The players disagree, feeling that it would ham per th e ir m a rk e ta b ility . In a nutshell, the players like the way the free agent m arket has skyrocketed the past two years and want it to rem ain that way. That ’s why you see players like Hick Cerone, a .265 h itte r, receiving a sa la ry of some $400,000 a year. Salaries that high are getting to lx* the rule, ra th e r than the exception. E ver since N Y \ ankee owner George Steinbrenner inked Dave W infield to a $25 m illio n m u lti-ye a r contract, m a jo r league salaries have gone hayw ire It isn ’t su rp risin g that a s trik e has LET THE LES SCHWAB EON BILL fe.
