I have become convinced that one of the pernicious evils that the 1994 baseball strike has inflicted on us, is the Tyranny of the Long Ball. Think about it for a minute. After Cal Ripken Jr passed Lou Gehrig‘s consecutive game streak, MLB needed something to continue its recovery of popularity after pissing off the fans by cancelling the ’94 World Series (and coincidentally, saving the Braves consecutive division streak in the process, as if the season had played out, the Braves would’ve gotten run by the Expos. THAT team was dynamite. But, I digress.
