Houston FRAstros Players Given Unconditional Release
30 August 2002 | PetroniDE

As many of you know, the MLB players union and owners have come to an agreement that will avoid a strike this season.

It is with deep regret to inform each of you that your have been given your unconditional release from the Houston FRAstros baseball club. I know how disappointed you all are (since some of you have drafted Hall of Fame induction speeches), but with no players strike, no replacement teams.

Just a thought.

Next time the players announce a strike date us fans should also announce a strike date of that very day.

I wonder how many games played in empty stadiums it would take to get negotions moving?

Shalom.
