1994 strike

From BR Bullpen

Jump to: navigation, search

The 1994 Strike was a traumatic event in baseball history. In 1994 the post-season and approximately the last 50 games of the season were cancelled due to a player's strike called by the MLBPA and their leader Don Fehr. The World Series was not played for the first time in 90 years. This led to a tumultuous off-season where the owners declared an impasse and attempted to implement their own rules. The strike was ended by a ruling from Sonia Sotomayor.
