1994 Baseball Strike Averted

This timeline is specifically related to baseball; it speculates on what would have occurred if the 1994-95 Major League Baseball players' strike had been averted and the playoffs of 1994 had been cancelled. It is an open timeline and very much a work in progress.

The 1994 MLB season appeared gravely threatened in the 1993-4 offseason as negotiations broke down between the MLB Players' Association and owners for a new labor contract. A strike date was set for August 12, 1994. On August 9, after a tense series of meetings with MLBPA representatives and federal mediators, the owners agreed to withdraw their demand for a salary cap; the MLBPA agreed to the revised terms of the contract, effectively averting the strike at the eleventh hour.
