History

Historical Context

The 1994 MLB players’ strike ended the season on August 11, and on September 14 owners voted 26–2 to cancel the remaining games, ending the World Series for the first time since 1904. Today the Kansas City Royals use SeatGeek resale, military discounts and an Urban Youth Academy to reconnect with fans, a strategy rooted in the strike’s lasting impact.
