History

Historical Context

The 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike, lasting 232 days, canceled the entire postseason for the first time in history. Resuming in April 1995, the season featured a shortened schedule and a 20% drop in attendance, severely impacting teams like the Texas Rangers. The Atlanta Braves won the World Series that year, marking their third championship in different cities, while the Rangers' 2023 title reflects their remarkable recovery.
