The 1994 Major League Baseball strike remains one of the most consequential labor disputes in sports history—canceling the World Series, dividing fans, and reshaping the future of the game. More than three decades later, host Jeff Passan sits down with Hall of Fame pitcher and former player representative Tom Glavine to revisit one of baseball's most turbulent chapters. Glavine offers a firsthand account of the events that led to the strike, the tensions between players and owners, the difficult decisions made behind closed doors, and the lasting impact the work stoppage had on the sport.
