Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth said he would not allow teams to use replacement players if major leaguers go on strike in 1990.

Ueberroth said the club owners had discussed the possible use of replacement players who are not members of the Major League Baseball Players Assn.

“It’s obviously been discussed because it’s been done in other sports,” Ueberroth told the Hartford Courant. “But be careful not to mention the other sports because they’re not really comparable. This one is really an institution. I don’t want to make it sound sacred, but it has a special nature amongst the people in the country. It’s a love affair.”
