The driving issue in the strike of 1994 was the disparity between the financial states of the teams. The owners contended that Major League Baseball could not continue to function healthily with the existing financial structure. The strike was resolved with no real impact in that financial structure. How has Major League Baseball done since? Obviously, the game has done quite well. Fans have returned and baseball may be more popular now than it was before the strike. There is no need to revising the revenue between the teams. Revenue sharing would be a tragedy simply because it would punish those who are successful.
Want some ideas about what the next television contract with MLB could be worth? Read this for the scoop. http://www.newsday.com/nd1/more/rnmimt0h... The virtually omnipotent commissioner had an interview with Baseball Weekly. He talks about the disparity between teams. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/... Baseball America has a really interesting article if you're a big-time baseball fan. They lay out several ideas about what the next ten years of baseball will look like. http://www.baseballamerica.com/features/... Who's the "small market" Cinderella in 2000? Tom Flammer's got a couple of ideas at purebaseball.com. http://www.purebaseball.com/editorial/fl... I can't resist putting this one in. And totally unrelated to the baseball markets theme of the above articles, John Benson has a good article on why baseball fans are more literate (or literater) than fans of other sports. http://www.johnbenson.com/readers.html
