Description: 1994 World Series Baseballs. The World Series that never happened. 1 Dozen The World Series was cancelled on September 14, 1994. This was only the second time in the history of Major League Baseball (MLB) that the fall classic was not held. In 1904, the Series was cancelled because of business rivalries between the National and American Leagues and a personal dispute between manager John McGraw of the New York Giants and Ban Johnson of the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox.) The root cause of the baseball strike in 1994 was money. Before 1975 MLB contracts contained reserve clauses that tied players to their teams, perhaps for their entire careers. There were no free agents. As a result, player salaries were kept low. When the reserve clause was eliminated in 1975 and players could negotiate with different clubs, salaries increased dramatically as teams vied for talent. Between 1985 and 1988 the owners secretly conspired to control salaries and hold down expenses, but were fined $280 million as the result of a lawsuit by the players union.
