How many games have been effected in each league? Anything before this millennium is barely relevant now
NFL: 0 since 1987. I guess a few games were impacted by officiating more recently, too.
NBA: 32 in '99, 16 in '11
MLB: In '94 each team played ~117/162, missing roughly 45 games each, and all of the playoffs; also 18 games the next season.
NHL: 34, 82+ playoffs, 34.

The NHL is in a league of it's own - baseball at least demonstrated the ability to learn from it's mutually assured destruction 24 years ago.
