Also included for this year is the official strike-shortened version of the schedules. Due to the players' strike which had commenced late in the previous season, the start of the 1995 season was delayed. The strike was finally settled on Apr.2, 1995, and in order to give sufficient time for a spring training period the schedule was officially revised. The season was reduced to 144 games per team and the opening of the season pushed back to Tues. Apr. 25. A total of 312 games on the original 1995 schedule were affected by the strike and schedule revisions, with 252 of these games being cancelled while the remaining 60 were rescheduled for play during the shortened season.
