Play Begins Saturday As Strike Ends
The 1972 baseball strike ended in its 13th day as owners and players agreed to start the season on Saturday with no postponed games rescheduled and no back pay for the days lost. The settlement sets a 153 to 156 game schedule, adds $500,000 to the players pension fund and $490,000 to health care, and keeps division winners by winning percentage.
