Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – August 13, 2014
Posted by Paul Francis Sullivan
The baseball strike was going on 20 years ago. I look back at 1994, what could have been, what good it did and a few strange consequences that the chain reaction of the strike caused.
It is a labor strife and labor peace episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Josh Donaldson, Chris Sale, Jarred Cosart, Carl Crawford, Mat Latos, Jeremy Hellickson, Oswaldo Arcia and Justin Morneau all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?
