1972 Major League Baseball strike

Baseball resumed when the owners and players agreed on a $500,000 increase in pension fund payments.

[1] The 86 total games that were missed over the 13-day period were not rescheduled, because the league refused to pay the players for the time they were on strike.

[2] One major effect of the uneven schedule was that the Detroit Tigers played one more game than the Boston Red Sox, which enabled Detroit (with a record of 86–70) to win the American League East as Boston (with a record of 85–70) finished 1⁄2 game behind.

[2] Detroit won the division on the next-to-last day of the season when they beat Boston, 3–1, at Tiger Stadium.
