MLB comes to work stoppage as owners lock out players

Any strike occurs and I don't think the fans will be as forgiving this time.

I don't think fans will care too much this time unless it impacts the season.

Big Papi elected to Hall on 1st ballot

Curt Schilling’s non-baseball words likely to keep him from Hall of Fame

https://nypost.com/2022/01/20/baseball- ... -own-case/

Schilling always was a drama queen.  I believe he was upset not being elected last year, he whined to the committee to be taken off the ballot.  The result was his percentage went from 71% to 58%.
He was said there was nothing more satisfying than making 60,000 New York fans shut up.  Something to that effect.  Well, now 60,000 New York fans have evened the score. 
:D
 

I still think it was ketchup on his sock in 2004 playoffs.
