Baseball Wildcard history .


1995: In tandem with the realignment into three divisions per league, a Wild Card team -- the winningest club that didn't win a division -- was added to the postseason field. The Wild Card winner played the team with the league's best record, unless that team was in the same division, in which case it would face the second-best division winner.

2012: A second Wild Card club was added in every league, and the two Wild Cards in each league began the postseason with a one-game playoff. The restriction against teams from the same division playing each other was removed.

2020: The postseason field expanded to 8 teams per league -- three division winners, three second-place teams and two additional teams with the next best record -- and introduction of the best-of-three Wild Card Series as the opening round.

2021: The postseason returned to its pre-2020 format, with the two Wild Cards in each league playing a single-game playoff.

2022: A third Wild Card spot was created in each league, bringing the total number of postseason teams to 12. The Wild Card Series returns -- again as a best-of-three, with all three games in the home site of the higher seed. The top two division winners automatically advance to the DS, the division winner with the third-best record hosts the Wild Card winner with the worst record, and the other two Wild Card winners face each other. The top division winner faces the winner of the Wild Card Series between the Nos. 4/5 seeds, and the second-best division winner faces the winner of 3/6. The DS, LCS and WS then play out as before.
 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maj...ild card teams,Series winner to be determined.


The following wild card teams have won the World Series: the Florida Marlins, in 1997 and 2003; the Anaheim Angels, in 2002; the Boston Red Sox, in 2004; the St. Louis Cardinals, in 2011; the San Francisco Giants, in 2014; the Washington Nationals, in 2019; and the 2023 World Series winner to be determined.

A wild card team appeared in the World Series each year from 2002 to 2007.
The 2002, 2014, and 2023 World Series have been the only times when both teams were wild cards.
The Baltimore Orioles, in 1996, were the first wild card team to win a Division Series.
The Marlins, in 1997, were the first wild card team to reach and first to win the World Series. By winning again in 2003, they became the first team to win the World Series twice as a wild card. The Marlins are also the only team to win the World Series without ever winning a division title.
The Red Sox and New York Yankees have been a wild card seven times. The Colorado Rockies have been a wild card five times. The Oakland Athletics have been a wild card four times, while the St. Louis Cardinals, the Houston Astros, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Orioles, the New York Mets, the Giants, the Chicago Cubs, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Toronto Blue Jays have been a wild card three times each.
The Houston Astros were the first team to have won a wild card in different leagues. NL (2004-2005) and AL (2015)
The following teams have qualified as a wild card in consecutive years: the Red Sox (1998-1999, 2003-2005, 2008?2009), the Astros (2004-2005), the Mets (1999-2000), the Cardinals (2011-2012), the Pirates (2013-2015), the Yankees (2017?2018), the Rockies (2017?2018), the Athletics (2018?2019), and the Brewers (2019?2020).
All Major League teams have earned a wild card berth; the last team never to have been a wild card was the Philadelphia Phillies, who earned a berth in 2022.
The 2022 NLCS was the first League Championship Series to feature two wild card teams: the San Diego Padres and the Philadelphia Phillies.[A] The 2023 edition was the second, featuring the Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The first sixth-seeded team to reach the World Series was the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022.

Both teams started in the play in the round.

Both went on to knock out a team with a first round bye in each team?s subsequent round.
 
I like this paring. I hope it goes 7 and the Rangers win.
 
I'll be rooting for Arizona. But the big to do is no more freakin' Astros.
 
2021 season:

Texas Rangers: 60-102

Arizona Diamondbacks: 52-110

Two teams that lost 100+ games just two seasons ago!
Two teams that just won games 6 and 7 on the road!
Two seven-game LCS!

Two teams that have proven rebuilds don't have to take 6-7 years. Star players who play in markets that don't get a ton of attention.

A DECADE TOO LATE.
Totally Tigers

During this time of year when October baseball is being played, we can?t help but reminisce about some of the unresolved issues we had with the Tigers during those 2006 ? 2016 years. For some of us, trying to wrap our minds around how it all turned out the way it did.

Especially when we?re constantly reading stories about a disproportionate number of former Tigers who are once again in the thick of it. And winning those rings.

For me recently, it?s been the multiple stories all praising Max Scherzer during the playoffs and how he?s stepped up. It appears that those reporters are not familiar with what happened during the 2013 playoffs.

Once I stopped retching over the stories, I had to revisit some memories and wonder ?what if??

Yup Tiger fans have to put up with the worthless llitch family ownership since 1992. At least they have have one stretch that was decent.
This myth that fast turnarounds are not possible was disproven by these two teams.

I am going to have a wait and see approach to these two teams. Texas is the 3rd oldest team in MLB as they brought in old free agents. AZ only won 6 more games than the Tigers did, and they too are kind of older (13th).

But in 2 years they went from 100+ loses to the WS and we are the exact same.
 
How can you tell there's no playoff/World Series game on this day? Teams are firing employees left and right. MLB asks their franchises not to make waves on game days. For the record, the Detroit Tigers just released 8 employees. Expect more to come.
