European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 14, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 30 the stars and stripes sports wednesday december 14.1994 Here s film version of baseball strike if the baseball strike were a movie we would be at that decisive moment when the Warden played by Jerry Lewis or some other Bud Selig lookalike in a suit faces Down the surging mob. He is armed with Only a bullhorn and his bravado. Call a halt to it right there Lewis Selig yells his voice echoing around the cavernous exercise Yard. Spotlights Rake Tjie crowd As Don Fehr spreads out his arms to hold Back his base Ball Bat wielding supporters. The players egotist All will de Mand to play themselves in the movie. But the Union chief is so Boring that he will be forced to play himself. Back to your cells now Lewis Selig says. Now and drop that list of de mands on the ground. I la look at it if i look at it when i m Good and ready. I m still calling the shots around Here. And i Lublow this place and everyone Jim Litke in it sky High before i la let you bully me into  s lower lip already curled in a snarl begins to quiver. He takes a step backward balls the players lat est proposal into a tight wad of paper and balls his smooth hands into Small fists and. Cut a,. Commentary of so we re exaggerating. A Little. Jerry Lewis might be a Little too manic Sci play Bud. And the speech might be a Little Long not to mention Long winded even for Bud. And considering How Little provocation players need to charge the Mound any More it s hard to imagine Nehf keeping them from charging the Man who would repossess their Mercedes ,. But you get the idea the players have been running a prison break virtually without interruption since a  have been a few real bumps and a few pub Lic relations bruises remember Barry Bonds embarrassing child support squabble and Lou Whitaker s unfortunate Choice of wardrobe for a Union meeting. But by and Large things have been pretty Good. The players Hayeri t had to show up at work and Treyve still managed to keep the Wolf from the door. And not just that in some cases they be lowered their handicaps and Hung the drapes at the vacation  been Able to do those things and More thanks mostly to a couple of checks from the baseball car Money their Union stashed for just such an occasion. And if truth be told they could probably let  linger on a few weeks More. The owners meanwhile Are saving a few dollars too but from their Point of View this thing has gone on Long enough. I. -.-.-, -"-.v-. Bud & co. Have season ticket packages to sell and Spring training arrangements to make. They have re placement players to line up if that s what it comes to. They have a poll that tells them the Public would probably come out to see those replacement players at least at first. They have a thursday deadline already in place for imposing a salary Cap. Having forced the players into a confrontation this is the week when we find if they have the stomach to end it. On sunday night they handed the players a counterproposal containing something very much like a salary Cap even if it was disguised As something else. The players May not blink yet. But there is a growing sense that they Are at the very least not moving for Ward As fast toward a fight As they were a few Short month Sago. Some hint of that could be gleaned from the final Days of their meeting last week in Atlanta. After a Day or so there was less and less bragging and Chest thumping Solidarity and More and More concern Over what Lay ahead. Cecil fielder talked about saving face. One of Fehr s lieutenants called the proposal that came out of the meetings an Olive Branch. The mets Bobby Bonilla usually an agitator in these matters said with some trepidation he was sure things would get uglier before they got  exactly How much uglier remains to be seen. And not in the movies.
