FAST will present the negotiators in the dispute "tangible evidence that we think we are being ignored," says Levin. Eleven regional coordinators are collecting signatures at opening days around the nation. Operating in concert with the Detroit-based Baseball Bugs of America, FAST expects to have 60,000 signatures within about a week...
