The Major League Baseball Player’s Association announced today that they will be ending their current 13 day strike. The first strike in the history of Major League Baseball has officially ended. In the end, the owners agreed to add an additional $500,000 to the player's annual pension fund payments.

Commissioner Kuhn and Marvin Miller, the Executive Director of the player’s union issued a joint statement that they were pleased that the differences have been worked out, and vowed to work together to extend the Collective Bargaining Agreement that is set to expire after this season. They indicated that negotiations would continue early next month.

The 86 games that will be missed over a thirteen day period will not be made up. Opening Day is now scheduled for April 15th.
