The 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike was the eighth and
longest work stoppage in baseball history, as well as the fourth
in-season work stoppage in 22 years. The strike began on
August 12, 1994, and resulted in the remainder of that season,
including the postseason and the World Series, being canceled.

This was the first time in ninety years, since 1904, that a World
Series was not played. The strike was suspended on April 2,
1995, after 232 days, making it the longest such stoppage in
MLB history and the longest work stoppage in major league.

The purple Princess Diana beanie baby was created shortly
after her death in 1997  to raise money for the Princess of
Wales Memorial Fund.         

        
       
As with everything that has the lady’s name attached to it, it
caused a massive frenzy and they have been collecting dust
in people’s attics ever since, waiting for them to rise in value. 

The question of what the Ty beanie babies are actually worth
is disputed. Some say they aren’t worth more than $5-$7 while
others speculate there are some valued at over $500,000.
