OK. Here's what we do: If the players actually go through with a strike on August 30th, I assume that would mean that August 29th would be the final day of scheduled MLB action. In that case, FANS SHOULD STRIKE BASEBALL SEPT. 29TH by refusing to attend the final game before a players strike. All around baseball, stadiums would be empty while ballplayers go through the motions. What a scene that would be on ESPN, not to mention the major news networks: empty stadiums, with fans protesting outside. It would be a huge statement by fans that this strike nonsense will destroy baseball.

FANS SHOULD STRIKE BASEBALL

I am with you on this, except that date would be too late. I think the FANS should boycott starting Sunday the 25th. That would give a clear signal that they have 5 days to figure it out. I would say Monday, but there are usually not too many games on Mondays. A weekend day of empty stadiums would make a nice news piece leading into the final week before the strike date.

Even better, show up for the game, buy nothing (food, drinks, hats, etc.), take a seat silently, stand and sing the National Anthem, and then walk out en masse.

Chilling theatre.
