History

Historical Context

The 1994 MLB strike, which began on August 12, 1994 while Bud Selig served as acting commissioner, halted play, canceled the World Series and cost owners about $580 million as 948 games were lost. That labor clash forced roster shake-ups and eroded fan trust, a pattern echoed today as the 2026 Giants and Rockies enter a sub-.400 pre-All-Star stretch at Oracle Park.
