I referenced Major League Baseball at the beginning of this column because everyone believes baseball is headed for another work stoppage. And unlike the 1994 strike, everyone pretty much believes baseball owners should lock out the players and break the union the way NBA owners broke their players' union. It's the right thing to do. The players have become too powerful. They're making too much money.
Salaries are out of control.
A work stoppage, no matter how distasteful, is the right thing to do. Baseball will survive. It has been America's national pastime for more than a century. That kind of thinking led to the fall of the Indy 500, which began in 1911. The fact is the NFL replaced baseball as America's pastime a long time ago.
