MLB owners are damaging their own brand and don’t seem to care

I know, I know, I’m going to sound like the proverbial broken record here. But I feel I have to say this again.

Baseball had a chance to be a major part of the USA’s recovery from the novel coronavirus pandemic, and perhaps even begin on one of the country’s biggest holidays, Independence Day. The symbolism of such a thing would have been a huge plus for Major League Baseball, and likely would have given the sport the national sports stage for itself, for a few weeks, anyway.

Instead, we are reduced to listening to owners and players squabbling like a couple of people arguing over a parking space at the local mall.
