The rest of the Major League Baseball season is canceled because of a strike.
Major League Baseball canceled the remainder of its 1994 season due to a players' strike, marking the first time since 1904 that no World Series was held.
On September 14, 1994, after weeks of stalled negotiations over salary caps and revenue sharing, MLB owners officially canceled the rest of the season. The players had walked out on August 12, beginning the longest work stoppage in the sport's modern era. With the postseason and World Series called off, fans across North America were left disappointed and stadiums emptied. The cancellation resulted in significant financial losses for teams, cities, and local businesses. In the aftermath, both parties reevaluated the collective bargaining process to avoid future disruptions. The 1994 strike remains a pivotal event in sports labor relations, reshaping the dynamics between players and management.
