((It's a done deal. Baseball fans will be filling the stands at Major League Baseball parks after the owners and players hammered out a last minuted contract to keep the season alive. Bud Selig, MLB Comissioner "Major League Baseball's 30 clubs and the Major League Baseball Players Association have reached a historic agreement and all games will be played as scheduled." The four-year agreement was reached just hours before an afternoon game between St. Louis and Chicago at Wrigley Field. Negotiators worked around the clock before Commissioner Bud Selig and player's union head Donald Fehr wrapped up the talks, averting baseball's ninth work stoppage since 1972.
Donal Fehr, MLBPA Union Chief "It has been a very, very long time since collective bargaining agreement has been negotiated without a work stoppage. " The issues at the heart of the impasse were financial. They centered on ways for smaller market teams to compete with the big market teams generating big dollars.
MLB Comissioner Bud Selig The issue here was competitive balance and I feel this deal clearly deals with that." Throughout the ordeal fans have been disgusted with both sides. Everything from trash on the field to trash talking in the stands marred the games as the strike deadline neared. Jose Marrero/Fan Every ten years there's a labor problem..it needs to stop. The ones who get cheated is us. Jim Acosta: They have a deal but they don't have a signed contract just yet. Both the owners and players have to review the final contract then ratify the agreement with an official vote. That is expected to take place within a week.))

Two 45-minute Winston Cup practice sessions will be held at 9:30 and 11:15 and the Busch Series will start its race on schedule without any practice on the tricky egg-shaped layout.
