INT CU Marvin Miller, Major League Baseball (MLB) Players Association representative, Marvin Miller, spoke about how losses were piling up for owners and there was a lot of pressure from networks, sponsors, and mayors. Miller states, "The losses were really going to start to pile up in terms for the owners. You were getting to a period where they could not count on filling in every week, Monday night, those losses were piling up. When you add that to the ending of insurance, the continued lost gate for the next two months, the loss of the All Star game, the loss of the League Championships, and the World Series. The pressure from the networks and local stations about their needs. Pressures from the sponsors, pressures from the mayors, its a lot of pressures."
