Baseball meets in deadlock over interleague play vote
Major League Baseball failed to adopt interleague play in 1974 as the AL backed the plan and the NL opposed it. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn did not cast a tie breaking vote, citing a legal challenge but left open the possibility of future action. A five member blue ribbon steering committee will study baseball matters and report at the winter meetings in Houston. Bud Selig and Charles Bronfman voiced opposition and concerns about the World Series format.
