The 1976 Major League Baseball lockout occurred from March 1 to March 17.[1] The lockout was instituted after the expiration of the league's Basic Agreement. A primary issue addressed during lockout negotiations was the longstanding reserve clause and the players' desire to become free agents. The lockout did not result in any regular season games being canceled.
