Baseball strike begins delaying games in season opener
Major League Baseball players union chief Marvin Miller announced the strike after a long day of talks with club owners. He said progress was none and many players had left for home as the San Diego Padres faced the Chicago Cubs and twelve other games were set for tonight. Negotiators capped two long days with little progress on free agent compensation and a player pool proposal.
