I remembered the 1972 strike that wiped out the first two weeks of the season but the ’73 spring training lockout faded from my memory — probably because I was only 12 years old at the time and the fact that no actual games were lost meant that I really didn’t care about anything else. The actual details of a labor agreement would have just gone over my head at that age.

I’m sure that I was worried about the lockout after the previous season’s strike — but put it out of my mind once the players reported for spring training. Forty-three years later, it pops up again and this time I can understand its significance.
