Since the Wild Card was instituted in 1995, it’s had quite an impact on the
World Series – resulting in five Wild Card teams taking home the Fall Classic
trophy. This year, MLB doubled down on the Wild Card, adding a second Wild
Card slot per league, which will play a one-game “play in” with the winner
advancing to the division series. Will one of this year’s Wild Card teams
collect its 11 wins to go all the way? As the leaves turn yellow, time will tell.
Here’s a look back at how past Wild Card winners have fared. –Josh Klenert
