It has been a bad year for baseball, and things seem to be getting worse by the day. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced today that the owners would lockout the players. An unidentified source indicated that the owners are attempting to gain the upper hand in the current round of negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that is set to expire after the season. The same source said that the owners voted 20-4 for the lockout. The owner’s opposing the lockout are believed to be led by controversial Oakland A’s owner, Charley Finley.
