History

Historical Context

The 1994-95 Major League Baseball strike, which ended in April 1995, was the latest episode in a string of labor disputes that began with the 1976 lockout and the 1990 lockout. Those disputes altered league dynamics, a trend reflected in the San Francisco Giants’ 12-9 win over Milwaukee on June 4 2026 today.
