History

Historical Context

The 1994 MLB players’ strike began after the final games on August 11, 1994 and, after 34 days, commissioner Bud Selig cancelled the remainder of the season. That abrupt shutdown taught the league to honor tickets, so when a 2024 rainout moved the Braves–White Sox game to Aug. 20, Chicago ticket holders remained protected.
