The death of baseball has been predicted for years. Remember the DH rule. It was predicted that it would kill the American League. Remember the strikes. Each one was predicted to destroy baseball. Remember George Steinbrenner. It was predicted that his antics would destroy baseball. Likewise the Pete Rose scandal was also predicted to destroy baseball. Baseball will survive IR, if it comes to pass. Maybe the owners will put scantily clad cheerleaders on the field while the umps review the replays.
Even longer ago, almost everything Charles O. Finley did was supposed to be the death of baseball.
