NFL Week 4 Recap: New York, New York, Brady Returns Home. Top Story - October 2021.
It has been said that one can never go home again. Those who said that clearly weren't interested or well-versed in the story regarding one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. I still remember when I heard the news that Tom Brady was leaving Foxboro, leaving the Patriots. I had heard that rumor for several months and never believed it; I figured he'd retire as a Patriot. In fact, my exact words were, "I'll believe it when I see it." Actually, I said, "Even if I see it, I still won't believe it." And those words were true, even a year later.

History of the MLB Postseason (Part IV: Double Wild Card Era - 2012-present)
The 2011 Major League Baseball season ended with not one, but two surprising collapses in the postseason race. The Boston Red Sox and the Atlanta Braves each had big leads in their respective league's Wild Card races, but the month of September saw both teams lose their leads, bit by bit, until the final day saw them surpassed and eliminated from contention. After the St. Louis Cardinals (who came back on the Braves) won the World Series, MLB got together and came to the following decision: a second Wild Card must be added.

History of the MLB Postseason (Part III: Wild Card & Division Series Era - 1995-2011). Top Story - October 2021.
The introduction of divisional play in 1969 increased intrigue in Major League Baseball. The road to the World Series now included a playoff round known as the League Championship Series (LCS), which featured each league's two division champions facing each other for the pennant. All the while, the league continued to grow, as after the Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers, baseball returned to Seattle with the Mariners, while the American League went north of the border and debuted the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1993, the National League added two new franchises: the Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins.

History of the MLB Postseason (Part I: Classic World Series Era - 1903-1968)
As a sports fan, I've always been fascinated by Major League Baseball's postseason format, and among the reasons why is because of how small it is. Out of North America's four main sports leagues, MLB has the smallest playoff field. While the NBA and NHL let in 16 teams, and the NFL lets in 14, MLB puts 10 teams in the postseason, but during a six decade period, it was just two. Here's the story regarding the World Series.

History of the MLB Postseason (Part II: Divisional Play & League Championship Series Era - 1969-1993)
The World Series was instilled in 1903 as the championship contest, as well as the lone postseason round in Major League Baseball. The Series has been contested between the champions of the American and National Leagues, with each league's standings determining the pennant winners, which went to the first place teams. For five decades, MLB had 16 teams, eight in each league, though the 1950s and 1960s would see a wave of relocation and expansion, with more teams being place in western cities. By 1968, MLB had 20 teams, 10 in each league, though league standings still determine pennants.
