This ends Winnemucca's run of five straight 100+ win seasons and regular season pennants. It's the 2nd straight playoff appearance for the Gettysburg Gomers and the first playoff appearance for the Washington Grays since the move from LA, the franchise's only other appearance came in '57, which was also the last time the St. Louis franchise made the post-season, though they were in their first season in SLOP and were the Milwaukee Blue Sox back then.
So we've got a bit of the old and a bit of the new in this year's post-season. This is Rio Grande's 4th playoff appearance in five years and San Diego's second straight after a six year drought.
This is the 5th season in SLOP of the 3rd playoff team and last year's Carolina Kings were the first wild card to claim a title in the Elimination Series era.
I'm uploading the file here in a sec, will post when it's up. Playoffs tomorrow night.
