Donald Fehr, head of the Major League Baseball Players Assn., said that the union was not likely to allow the Houston Astros to leave the Astrodome for a month during the 1992 season and play home games in another city.
“A club is not free to move its home base,” Fehr said. “The basic agreement does not permit 30-day road trips.”
Astro chairman John McMullen said this week that he had rented out the Astrodome for the Republican Convention from July 27-Aug. 23, 1992. McMullen said the team either would take a month-long trip or play home games at another site, possibly the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
