Baseball continues to limp along, trying to field teams capable of playing at the Major League level. Commissioner Kuhn announced today that a modification to the schedule was made, and 16 teams will be playing an abbreviated schedule beginning on May 1st. There has been no word yet on which teams would not be playing Major League Baseball this year, or how many games would be played on the field. Attendance for Spring Training games is at an all-time low level, and baseball fans appear to be staying away in massive numbers.

The baseball player’s union announced today that former Major League Baseball all-stars would kick off a 40 city barnstorming tour, in an effort to keep players fresh, and baseball fans entertained. A portion of the revenue generated in each city will be donated to local charities. A number of players have already committed to taking part in the tour, including Joe Morgan, Steve Carlton, Rod Carew, Dick Allen, Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Tom Seaver, and Pete Rose.
