The Players go on Strike in Baseball

The last know strike to baseball was in 1994-95 the reason why they went on a 232 day strike was because of salary budgets. The league was trying to keep all the teams in the mlb. There was a risk that the low income team or the smaller teams would not be able to keep going because of business. The players didn't like this because the mlb agreed on a marketing agreement where all the teams would share the marketing profit. The players believed that they where pushed into doing it. The players where given no consent on what they would want to do. This led to the strike and this was the only year ever since beginning of baseball that there was no championship or world series.
