6 lugl 1994 anni - MLB strike

Descrizione:

The 1994 Strike was a traumatic event in baseball history. In 1994 approximately the last 50 games of the regular season and the post-season were canceled due to a player's strike called by the MLBPA and their leader Don Fehr on August 11th. The World Series was not played for the first time in 90 years. This led to a tumultuous off-season during which the owners, whose lead negotiator was originally Richard Ravitch but who was dismissed in December, declared an impasse and attempted to implement their own rules, bringing in replacement players to spring training and threatening to begin the season with these, just as the NFL had done on previous occasions. The strike was ended by a ruling from US District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, at the end of March 1995, as she granted an injunction by the MLBPA to prevent the use of replacement players. The ruling forced the two sides to come to an agreement, and the 1995 season was amputated by 18 games as a result, beginning at the end of April with a slate of 144 games. Ironically, the umpires decided to go on strike just as the two parties settled their dispute, so the 1995 season opened with regular players - but replacement umpires.
