Baseball Lockout
If the baseball owners attempt to close down our national pastime with their lockout, the big losers will be baseball fans like me.
It would appear that since the players will be unilaterally denied their ability to work, their contracts could be declared invalid, making them free agents.
In addition to the players, the stadiums and their cities, their concessionaires and workers would be shutouts too.
All that is needed is a few entrepreneurs like Donald Trump to ride to the rescue. They could put together a new baseball league, signing up the available players. The stadiums, cities, workers, and especially the fans, would be saved.
Only the curmudgeonly owners would be locked out. The American pastime would be saved by the free enterprise system.
