Classic case of Owners vs Union.

- Has the potential for the lawyers to obtain some easy bucks here!

- And if becomes a case, has the potential to reach the higher courts (if not the highest court) in the land!

- MLB Players Union might need/want 'another Marvin Miller' to set precedence!

- I am unable to recall any other DQ (as suggested by the Bowden) after Curt Flood and MLB free agency.

- Bowden could and should be 'fired' by the owners for 'taking a $10M gamble' and NOT asking, and then backing out when Texas GM put the red flags up!

- I haven't leaned to either side (owners vs players) yet. Yet sitting on the fence is no fun either!

- One thing is clear Bowden's fatal mistake is when he delegated F. Robinson to resolve his problem.
