1994 Major League Baseball Strike

The strike began on 12th August 1994, and resulted in the remainder of that season being canceled, including the postseason and, for the first time since 1904, the World Series. The strike was suspended on 2nd April 1995, after 232 days, making it the longest such stoppage in MLB history. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Allsport/Getty Images)
