The Boston Red Sox have a long and illustrious history of contributions to the Fellowship with displays over the years that brought forward a crescendo of negativity.
The start of the 1972 season was temporarily halted over a labor dispute – almost an annual event – before it finally resumed. This was the first time baseball would have games canceled and a schedule altered over labor issues and the keywords I just mentioned was schedule and altered.
