History

Historical Context

The 1994 MLB strike, which began on August 12, 1994, halted play after the August 11 games and led acting commissioner Bud Selig to cancel the World Series, wiping out $580 million in owner revenue and canceling 948 games. That labor clash forged flexible contracts and minor-league options, tools the Milwaukee Brewers now use in recent roster moves.
