Although I am very aware many out there just cannot seem to be able to control themselves, and don’t possess enough willpower to say “goodbye” to an organization which stands against everything we as Americans hold true and dear to our hearts, it looks like those of us who have said “enough” to the National Football League are officially winning the battle against this unpatriotic anti-American organization which hates our peace officers.
Both NFL games on TV and the attendance numbers at the ballparks are way down this season. And no, it’s not because there are too many penalties or the games take too long as the leftist experts on the failing sports network that is ESPN try to tell us.
The NFL has misread its fans, plain and simple. They thought we were all unconditional and anti-American, and this could very well turn out to be a fatal mistake.
For those of us who remember the 1994 baseball season, we know very well that it took all the way till after the 9/11 terrorist attacks for baseball fans to once again return to watching and attending baseball games. Since we all longed to go back to what was wholesome and as American as can be during a time when we were living through so much uncertainty and despair.
And keep in mind, this was just a monetary dispute, not a spit in the face at every red-blooded patriotic American out there.
USA TOday Reports:
1994 strike most embarrassing moment in MLB history
It abruptly ended Michael Jordan’s baseball career.
It killed the Montreal Expos franchise.
It stopped Tony Gwynn’s march towards baseball immortality.
It was the 1994 Major League Baseball strike.
Twenty years ago Tuesday, baseball came to a screeching halt and didn’t return for 232 days. The strike canceled the rest of the 1994 season, and for the first time since 1904, even the World Series.
It forever changed the course of history.
“I never felt the same way about baseball again after that,” Dave Stewart, a four-time 20-game winner and then pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays, tells USA TODAY Sports. “Even today, after all of my years in baseball, the passion I have for the game has never been the same. All because of that strike.
“It was one of the most embarrassing moments that’s ever happened to Major League Baseball. I wish I had never come back.”
Stewart stayed around for another three months once baseball returned in April 1995, back with the team for which he had his best years, the Oakland Athletics. He then retired after 19 seasons, before becoming an assistant general manager, a pitching coach and now an agent.
Yet for so many others, from Hall of Famer Goose Gossage to Bo Jackson to Sid Bream to Lloyd McClendon, they never would play another major league game.
“The strike got me, man,” Gossage told USA TODAY Sports. “It got a bunch of us. We faded in, and we faded out.
“I never did announce my retirement. Even today, 20 years later, I still haven’t announced my retirement.
“You don’t leave the game. The game leaves you.”
Gossage and former pitcher Charlie Hough are the only two players in baseball history who endured all eight work stoppages, while many of today’s greatest stars, such as New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, never have lived through one.
“Most of these guys in the big leagues today,” Gossage says, “they don’t have any freakin’ clue on how they’re being paid all of this money. Not one clue. They have no idea the blood, sweat and tears we went through.”
Gossage’s Hall of Fame career began with a strike as a rookie in 1972 with the Chicago White Sox and ended with the 1994 strike with the Seattle Mariners, with six work stoppages in between.
“They were all ugly,” Gossage says. “The owners always tried to stick it to us, but we weren’t going to let them break that union. We didn’t have the money like the guys today. When I made the White Sox as a rookie, I was literally broke.
“I remember getting to Chicago, opening day was the next day, and we went on strike. I was just a kid. I didn’t have a credit card. I had no place to stay. No money for a hotel room. I remember going to Joe Pepitone’s bar. He bought me some beers, and I wandered the street all night.
“That’s what it was like back in those days.”
By the time 1995 rolled around, the strike gave players an option most never had considered. Early Retirement.
“They should never, ever let a baseball player have the summer off,” says Dave Henderson, the Boston Red Sox’s 1986 playoff hero. “As a baseball player, (1994) was my first summer off. Ever. And I liked it.
“Once I got introduced to the thing they call Labor Day, and had a family barbecue and everything, I said, ‘Hell with it, I’m not going back.’
