Baseball's great day

Today is a fantastic day for baseball fans.
Donald Fehr has announced his retirement as head of the Major League Baseball Players Union.
One could argue Fehr was a fantastic representative for the players, especially in what he was able to do for them.
However, a more compelling argument is that his clashes with Bud Selig came within a warning track of crippling Major League Baseball.
Both sides were so short-sited in their vision, they produced a strike that stopped the 1994 World Series from happening. Sure, revenues and salaries are up, but at what cost? An era of great players have been marred by steroid scandals because the dynamic duo put money ahead of health, integrity and honor.
It is quite ironic that, if one reads between the lines, Fehr fought so hard to keep steroid testing out, that the leaking of names from baseball's first round of testing lead to his demise.
