Last Saturday, I heard an interview with Tom Glavine. He had a prominent role in the 1994 season-ending strike as a player rep. He recalled the lasting damage to the sport afterward and that it took time to win back the fans. He also recalled a labor dispute after 2001 and said that both sides realized that they would permanently lose the fans if they had another strike. He remembered that after 9/11 that there was such excitement by the fans when baseball returned as it was a return to normalcy. He sees a parallel with this pandemic. People want a return to normalcy and baseball is part of that. He strongly warned that if the doctors and health officials give the go ahead to start the baseball season and the season doesn't get played because of money issues, there will be long lasting damage done to the sport. Like after 1994, he warns that many fans will not come back.

This forum has become an unhealthy place. Taking a break is probably a good idea. I think you have my contact info if you want to drop me a line.

If they start playing to empty stadiums, the Astros will not have to bang the garbage can so hard.

Exhausting.

I am still not clear on this point. If the season gets cancelled, do the players still get paid?

I am, but I never saw Gretzky live at a game until he was with the Rangers. Even though he was at the end of his career, he was still something to see. His awareness on the ice was second to none. It was impossible to get a clean hit on the guy, even from the blindside. I saw two guys coming at him from opposite sides as he was digging the puck out from behind the net. It looked like they were about to make a Gretzky sandwich. At the last split second, he backed out with the puck and the 2 guys converging for the hit wiped each other out. It was like he had eyes in the back of his head.

It has been so long since he coached that he is probably better known for his Steakhouse franchise. He was a great coach.

Let's see how long this lasts.

It's easy to explain. Right now, there are no sports, so there is nothing to like about them. I heard an interview with Keith Hernandez today. He said that MLB is considering playing half a season throughout October with the post season played at neutral warm whether sites or domes. He also said that the pitchers will need about 3 weeks of spring training.

Hire Cora and give him a huge raise

She's as much at fault as Trump for this virus. -
I wouldn't argue with that either, but I can understand that others would be more upset by what he did.

And on cue, the Red Sox announce this:

I wouldn't argue with you on that.

Do you think that he didn't get enough punishment for his role in Houston?
-
It took long enough.

Managers do tend to get recycled. Some one will hire him. That is for sure.

MVP, how close are you to Tampa?

I don't think social distancing is the problem with resuming baseball. Spitting is the problem. And then there are players who like David Wells specialized in the nose rocket. I always felt that was a health menace.

He was always a nice "off the bench" RH platoon bat. He was versatile in the field too --he could play OF, 1B and even 2B and 3B serviceable enough to use in a pinch. And he had the good fortune of having the best 2 weeks of his career to help his childhood favorite team win a championship. He has a lot to be happy and proud about.

Not Corona related https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/04/yankees-co-owner-hank-steinbrenner-passes-away.html It's a sign of getting old that I remember when a young George Steinbrenner took over the NY Yankees from CBS and now his son dies.
