Here Bailer Batter baiter. To baiter hey anybody seen any waiters around Here or for that matter pitchers out fielders infielders or managers sad but True. We arizonans like Wise a Bunch of floridians and some baseball fans who like to Sample Spring in the Sun probably will be facing this predicament in the coming weeks. Look for these names coming to a milk Carton near you Brewers cubs giants a a Angels mariners and padres. They Are about to be officially considered Mia missing in Arizona. The indians of course have been lost since 1954. Hope is supposed to Spring eternal but not this year. Spring training in t in the air it s up in the air. There won t be a players strike but that s because the owners won t allow them the Opportunity. The owners will lock them out of Camp before they have a Chance to walk out. The first shutout of the season is about to be pitched owners i players 0. If As baseball theologians Tell us Spring training is a modern Day Eden then we have serious trouble in Paradise. Let s see if i have this straight. The owners recently signed a to contract roughly equal to the National deficit. Player salaries escalated to an average of $513,730 in 1989. And that was before the slew of $3 million a year signings during the off season. Owners arc getting Richer. Players Are getting Richer. Clearly More Money docs not mean More brains. Meanwhile fans Are getting poorer be cause of higher ticket prices but even they Don t seem to care since attendance remains High. So what s wrong with this picture Why Are owners and players Al each other s throats. Or Al least trying to Stran commentary Gle their Golden Goose in the past 18 years we have seen four so Ricks iwo lockouts and collusion among owners to keep free a genl salaries Down. And Here we go again. The owners Are said to have stockpiled $200 million in a strike fund. The major league baseball players association has a Kilty of $75 to $80 million. In Arizona fans have Spring training tickets that arc about to become worthless. Instead of getting ready for the season Icse parties arc gelling ready for a War of rhetoric. The playing Field continues to be a Board room not a Diamond. Obviously. This is gelling ridiculous. But in degrees of ridiculous the owners have the upper hand this time. First. They want to lock Oul the players in the Spring when a the athletes Don t get paid b they Don t want to be Here in the first place other than to work on their tans. Second their position indicates How foolish and splintered they Are in dealing with the players. They want an Aba style Revenue sharing system Complete with salary Caps. Of so far. But they also want a pay for pc for manic plan for players with less than six years experience. In theory this is a Way to hold Down the skyrocketing salaries. In other words because new York Yan Kee owner George Steinbrenner and friends can l regulate themselves by Refus ing to spend the Moon for a Utility infielder who hits. 185, they want it legislated. The players understandably Are telling the owners to hit the showers they want to continue maximizing their profits at the expense of their dimwitted Bosses. They like the status quo just Fine thank you along Wilh a few other changes including an improved pension plan. The truly sad thing is that when this non sense ends and the players and owners kiss and make up the fans will come Back. Al ways do. But for now this is shaping up As the Spring of our discontent. The games arc about to be postponed due to idiocy
