23. Are you mad? That marvelous union strike was baseball's finest hour
I loathe the sport and all its inactivity, but followed the '81 and '94 strikes extensively. The last baseball games I attended were just a few days pre-strike '94 in Toronto, to submit a letter of support to the players and gauge the attitude of the fans at Skydome.

I have several college friends who majored in sports administration at USC and went to work for professional sports franchises. The stories they have told me regarding financial abuse and coverups by owners and management are beyond belief. I support sports employees and unions 100%.
