The lockout is over! Baseball is back!
After months of an enforced lockout on the players, the MLB owners and Player’s Association agreed to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement on Thursday.
With it came an end to pointless bickering, posturing before the media, late nights waiting on Bob Nightengale Tweets, and last-minute surprise additions to the negotiations that derailed deals. It was frustrating. It was painful. It was soul-sucking. It made many of us hate what baseball was for a while.
All that is over.
Thursday was a day of joy and excitement.
