They might have to play all summer to empty stadiums - there is a sorrowful metaphor in there somewhere -

The 'slap' of the fist in the leather and the 'crack' of the bat will echo chillingly in those empty caverns. You're rights, it'll be sad. Thanks for the insight! Cheers, Gershon

Imagine life without baseball and beers, hot-dogs and cheers... we'd be fighting over anything...and we are...the economics are bad...

I guess you are right. We are Rome, without the bread and circuses. :)

I care, my friend. During WW2, President Roosevelt deliberately kept the major leagues going to raise morale by providing a healthy diversion from the suffering and deprivation caused by the war.

Well, well, well. Still a baseball fan! -- Myself, I loved the game until the steroid debacle erupted. Since then, lukewarm like at best. Hope something happens, for the sake of the economy if nothing else. Thanks, John
