@NightMgr Baseball went on strike 1981. I did not go to the Signals Tour (1982) but my Rush nut friend told me that was the lyric. I think it was the Signals album that mentions Warren Cromartie ( a prominent Expo at the time). I did go to the Grace Under Pressure tour. Opening act was the late Gary Moore.

One year I saw Rush in concert, the baseball teams were on strike.
They changed the lyrics in the song to "One likes to believe in the spirit of baseball."
The song is about the conflict between artistic passions and marketability.
1981 or 1994? Hmm. Geddy Lee is a huge baseball fan and you can see him sitting behind home plate at many a Toronto Blue Jays game.

@NightMgr I remember that but he sang “One likes to believe in the freedom of baseball.”
