In the Year 1985, 85, If Baseball Is Still Alive

Doug Pappas has a great article on ESPN comparing this labor negotiation with the one in 1985, the year of the two-day strike. Of interest is the statement:

The season resumed the following day. MLB set an all-time attendance record in 1985, then broke it in each of the next four years.

Hopefully, this negotation will end as successfully and will be as easily forgotten by the population at large.
