There’s still talks of a strike possibly happening. Neither the player’s union, nor owners can play nice. Do you think baseball can survive what might be another shortened season with a cancelled World Series?

My answer: No. It will be the hard blow to fans, and that will be the second cancelled championship in a span that’s less than a decade. Fans will be too sick of the crap involved in baseball.
