@RonDeSantis The strike absolutely killed the baseball card industry. It was the Yankees' rise that really brought baseball back as well as cheating with PEDs.

MLB never recovered from the 94 strike. The McGwire/Sosa home run chase in 1998 helped mitigate short-term damage but the league suffered the permanent loss of some fans.

Baseball was the national pastime for most of modern American history; now, football is far and away more
