The 1985 Major League Baseball strike was the fifth work stoppage in Major League Baseball since the 1972 Major League Baseball strike.[1] The strike lasted only two days, August 6 and 7. Of the 25 games scheduled for those days, 23 were made up later in the season with the only two games not being made up being a game between the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays at Exhibition Stadium and a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium which were both scheduled to be played on the 7th.
