They've survived strikes, even skipping a World Series. Huge payroll teams dominate year in and year out with smaller market teams taking turns making a run. Players earn multi-million dollar contracts.
And the fans still come back and/or tune in.
Does the average fan care if their players are on 'roids? Or will they be indignant this week and then be scanning the box scores as soon as players report to spring training?
