ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN.</s>BUD SELIG, ACTING BASEBALL COMMISSIONER: One can only hope now and work towards the end, that we constructively move forward, solve our problems.</s>DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: The day that Bud Selig said that there was going to be no more baseball, that the season was over, I think there was just a sense of amazement, of disappointment, that fans couldn't believe it had actually come to this.</s>MARK MCKAY, SPORTS ANCHOR: It was basically a money issue. They wanted to work themselves a better contract. It was a situation where they felt the owners were making the money and they weren't seeing enough of it. That worked certainly against them when it came to the fans. You know, how could a regular fan, who doesn't make nearly as much as these millionaire baseball players -- how could they relate to what they wanted to achieve?</s>KAGAN: Baseball is one of the things you're supposed to be able to rely on. And for the players, for the owners, for the league not to be able to agree on how they were going to get it together, basically to play a child's game, to ruin a season over money was very disappointing and very defeating.</s>MCKAY: Hopefully they learned something, and they learned that if they, you know, can get their act together in terms of getting a collective bargaining agreement ahead of time, you won't have it come to this. You know, when you end a season the way it did, it didn't do anybody any good in the long run.
