When the MLB introduced the wild card beginning with the 1995 playoffs, it further decreased the likelihood that the best team in each league would end up going to the World Series, as it created two chances for a team to get upset before making the World Series.

As such, I am going to a 16-team tournament with the best teams from the Wild Card era who failed to make the World Series. There will also only be one representative from each team, as I didn't want to have multiple Yankees or Braves teams.

The round of 16 and quarterfinals will be best-of-5 and the semis and World Series will be best of 7.

The next post will have the matchups!
