Choice voice `I don't understand the luxury tax. Why should a team that spends the money to get a superior product out to their fans pay to make the competition better? It's Mercedes-Benz paying Yugo because Yugo can't compete"

--Reggie Duncan, Lexington, Neb.

Powerful medicine

Without a strike, I am done with baseball. Before spring training starts more than half the teams can comfortably make October golf plans. No compromise, watered-down agreement will substantially help the competitive balance. Only shutting down the game could do this. It may be painful, but the sport would be better at the end of a long strike.

Bull's-eye on Bud

I have been a subscriber to THE SPORTING NEWS for nearly 60 years, beginning when it truly was "The Bible of Baseball" Ken Rosenthal's article "Baseball with no Bud: Let's all drink to that" (TSN, August 26) is one of the best and most important articles on a potential baseball strike--this one or previous strikes--I have seen.
