I DO believe the strike was good for one thing. Not one but THREE ball players were chasing the Roger Maris home run record. The strike put a stop to this nonsense. I do believe it was an expansion year meaning 2 new teas staffed with minor leaguers. Matt Williams was one of the HR chasers. Perhaps Griffey was another.
1993 was the expansion year (Rockies and Marlins), not 1994.
