Lessons Learned from '94 Strike Could Sink or Save Uncertain MLB Future

Major League Baseball, we've been told, could return soon. Maybe by early July.

For restless fans who've been sheltering in place and filling the void with documentaries, classic game replays and Korean Baseball Organization action, that would be welcome news.

Of course, there are a number of hurdles to clear first. As Bleacher Report's Bob Klapisch recently outlined, money is one of them, and that could derail the whole thing.

The owners are worried they'll lose revenue with no fans in the stands paying for tickets, food and parking.

"Without those accessories, the owners predict the outright collapse of at least one or two teams if they're forced torely mostly on TV broadcasts," Klapisch noted.
