Owners and players are fighting over billions. But it’s fans who provided that money, and fans who can take it all away.
As we approach the end of the third month of Major League Baseball’s lockout of its players, we also head towards the first moment of actual reckoning.
For everyone else, for the casual fans of the game — the folks who will go to a few games this year and watch plenty more on TV — baseball’s lockout hasn’t been a serious issue at all. It’s just a bunch of owners and players fighting in the offseason. So what? See you on Opening Day. Every day that passes after Feb. 28 without an agreement between the players and owners is a day that will likely be shaved off the season, bringing fans a second shortened season in three years.Worse yet, this edition will have been entirely preventable. A global pandemic limited the 2020 season to 60 games. Hubris and greed will be responsible for this seemingly inevitable truncation.
