That means MLB has recently lost more games than the 1994 strike. If MLB loses the first two months of the 2022 season because of an owner implemented lockout, that would still pale in comparison to the games lost in 2020.
For those implying they'll spend their time and money elsewhere if MLB cancels games -- you can already do that. Nothing is stopping you. If you love MLB now, you'll continue to do so after games are cancelled. Otherwise I would think losing 102 games in 2020 would have already caused you to lose interest.
And dont give me crap about 2020 being unprecedented times. Everything new is unprecedented. Time marches on. Things change. The pandemic isn't even over -- NBA and NFL players are still losing games due to infection.
Kids are preparing to play baseball this spring -- I'm helping my little brother do so. Parents will be focused on those games. That will be the case regardless of whether MLB plays games this spring or not.
High schoolers will be focused on their season -- college players, likewise.
The ones that will truly be hurt by the season not starting on time are the stakeholders with a financial interest in the league -- employees, owners, media, vendors etc.

You forgot to mention all the baseball card hodlers and case breakerz- where are they gonna get their profitz from? There will be no lambos this year.
And hopefully wax will get back to affordable again for the real collectors.
