MLB Season Cancelled, Cecil Fielder Interview, WXYZ-TV / FROM THE ARCHIVES: the baseball strike in August of 1994 which wiped out the playoffs and World Series that year.

Fast forward and the start of the 2022 season is in jeopardy because the two sides have yet to reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement.
This is WXYZ-TV's coverage as the games stopped, including a live interview with the Tigers' Cecil Fielder, who had already hit 28 home runs and driven in 109 games.

Kirk Gibson Signs with Dodgers, 1988 / On this date 34 years ago, Kirk Gibson signed a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the stars of the 1984 Tigers World Series championship team, Gibson made the decision to leave his hometown team to move to the National League.

Gibson's signing occurred on my first week at WXYZ-TV and I covered the press conference he held in Grosse Pointe Park.
