The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd — these are sights and sounds that Padres fans, like fans of every Major League Baseball team, had been longing for, sights and sounds that were supposed to begin at Petco Park on March 31. Not now.
A few samples from the hundreds of comments show that fans are upset with owners and players. “Instead of addressing the fans, maybe you should address the other owners and make sure all of you realize fans don’t need baseball, baseball needs fans," one person wrote.
“I’m mad at these guys, both sides! At this time, I don’t care if there’s a season or not,” another said. One added: “Way to go - society hasn’t had enough going on with Covid and Putin. But I hope you guys work out how many Ferraris and yachts you can each have…” And: “Sadly, the fans are the real losers here. Overpriced players and greedy ownership have made it impossible for a lot of fans and families to attend a game.”
