Baseball strike risks extending into 1995 season
Acting commissioner Bud Selig warned the 1994 baseball strike could push into 1995 as federal mediators failed to compel resumed bargaining. Union head Donald Fehr said owners reject a salary cap and that cost terms are euphemisms for cap. If 1994 ends unresolved, the union expects an imposed salary cap.
