If they can't workout a CBA, it could drag on for months. Owners want a salary cap, players aren't budging.

Isn't that similar to what happened in 1994 when they canceled the rest of the season, the playoffs and World Series because they couldn't come to terms?

I was so disgusted I turned away from baseball. Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire brought me back when they were battling it out for the homerun title. That was a fun season to watch.

I sure hope that doesn't happen again. 😕

In 1994, I said millionaires and billionaires fighting over money and who will pay the price? The fans, that's who.
