A firstly shoutout to all the playoff droughts broken starting with the Miami Marlins making the playoffs for the first time since 2003, the Chicago White Sox breaking through to make the postseason since 2008, the Cincinnati Reds making it for the first time since 2013, the San Diego Padres reaching the postseason finally since 2006 and finally the Toronto Blue Jays making the postseason for the first time since 2016.
Best of luck to all the teams and I have the Los Angeles Dodgers capturing that elusive Title in Arlington this postseason.
