haha, the article even mentions why you don't see certain players in video game rosters.

Open-ended question: how much did the '94 strike hurt Baseball?

― ojitarian (ojitarian), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i didn't attend or watch a single game until 1998. took me 4 years to get over it.

wow! really?

my passion for the game definitely ebbed for a number of years. in '95 & '96 i didn't search out the sox tv schedule a week in advance like i had previously. i think i stayed away from the park until 1997. i was very much in an "eff you" type of mood.

How would another strike or stoppage affect your interest in baseball?

had there been no settling in 02, i would have kissed it goodbye forever (although I had a ps2 at that point... ;-) ).

My love of Bill Mueller cares not for work stoppages.

two weeks pass...

Matt's a good guy. I've never thought of him as a scab.

I just drafted him today in the next-to-last round of my (thankgod final) rotisserie draft.

Damian Miller had his name left off of the Diamondbacks World Series Champs merchandise for this reason.

I went right back after the strike.

Replacement players cold... replacement LEVEL players hot!

my friend Tom STILL won't even check the box scores. he says "not until revenue sharing." I'm like, dude, I'm liberal and all, but come ON.

does your friend realize there's significant revenue sharing already in place?

― John (jdahlem), Thursday, 15 April 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

you say "significant," he says "fuck that shit, I want real change NOW!!!. kind of a standoff there.
