1994 – The remainder of the baseball season is canceled by acting commissioner Bud Selig after 34 days of the players’ strike. There will be no World Series for the first time since 1904.
Due to the strike, 26 of the 28 MLB team owners vote to cancel the remainder of the season, making baseball the first major professional sport to lose an entire postseason because of a labor dispute. The 232-day work stoppage will result in 948 canceled games, shortening both the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
On September 14, 1994, major league owners vote, 26-2, to cancel the remainder of the season in light of the continuing strike by players. As a result, the World Series will not be played for the first time since 1904.
