The lockout will be MLB's first work stoppage since the 1994-95 strike and the fourth lockout in baseball history. The three previous lockouts occurred in 1973 (lasted 12 days), 1976 (13 days), and 1990 (32 days) and did not result in any regular season games being postponed or canceled.

How long did any of you harbor ill will towards MLB in '94-'95? I didn't hold a grudge for very long. Maybe a few months.
