Fans offer six ways to improve game at the major league level.(Warm Up Tosses)
IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE MORE THAN TEN YEARS SINCE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HIT the pits with a destructive, season-ending players' strike, forcing owners to cancel the 1994 World Series.
Both the players' association of millionaires, headed by Donald Fehr, and hard-headed owners such as Bud Selig and Jerry Reinsdorf were scorched by fans for the long, grudge battle that extended into the 1995 season.
The work stoppage diminished the popularity of the game at the big league level and caused all sorts of collateral damage.
During the strike, a physician from Texas who was a subscriber to Baseball Digest, called our office in anger.
"Is your magazine subsidized by major league baseball?" he asked.
"No, we're an independent operation" was the response.
"Well, good," said the doctor, "otherwise I would have cancelled my subscription."
