The 1994 Major League Baseball season promised to be memorable.
Long-standing batting and pitching standards were threatened,
including the revered single-season home run record. The Montreal
Expos and New York Yankees were delivering remarkable campaigns. In
August, acting commissioner Bud Selig called a halt to the season
amid the League's latest labor dispute. The shutdown led to a
lockout as well as cancellation of more than 900 regular season
games, the scheduled expanded rounds of playoffs, and that year's
World Series. Like all labor struggles, it was fundamentally about
control--of salaries, of players' ability to decide their own
fates, and of the game itself. This book chronicles Major League
Baseball's turbulent '94 season and its ripple effects. It
highlights earlier labor struggles and the roles performed by
individuals from John Montgomery Ward, David Fultz, and Robert
Murphy to Marvin Miller, Andy Messersmith, Jim "Catfish" Hunter,
and Donald Fehr. Also examined are the ballplayers' own
organizations, from the Players League of the early 1890s to the
still potent Major League Baseball Players Association doing battle
with team owners and their representatives.
