Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Tuesday, December 02, 2008In the year 2000 . . .Lar from the blog Wezen-Ball stumbled upon a gold mine of awesome yesterday, in the form of the 1981 Sporting News Baseball Yearbook, which featured "experts" -- quotes of dubiousness included because Bowie Kuhn was one of them -- predicting what baseball would be like in THE YEAR 2000!!!The best one -- which I hope was a marked exhibit during the collusion hearings in the late 80s -- came from then-Labor Relations Director Ray "I don't foresee a revolution, I don't think things will be much different from now if we all keep our heads and work out our problems. But as for $1 million a year or $2 million a year for everybody, there's no way that baseball could stand it..." There are a ton more, so definitely click over to Wezen-Ball to look at how little we knew then and reflect upon how little we probably know now. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 1:52pm Comments

Wonderful. Metal bats would be scary business though. Imagine being at a corner infield position if someone like Josh Hamilton hit a hard line drive right at you… Posted 12/02 at 03:30 PM

I now see that comment is a little confusing, wonderful was in reference to the post by Wezen-Ball, not line drives that would go through 1 ft of concrete hit at a person. Posted 12/02 at 03:32 PM

Its true, no one stands for one or two million a year. Now they demand 10.
Great find by Wezen-Ball
