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.

Villainess Review: Blair Dennison (Deadly Debutante)
Lifetime delivers once again with this film, billed as Deadly Debutante, but credited under the longer title, Deadly Debutantes: A Night to Die For. The film centers around the Debutante Ball, and the two main participants: Anna Phillips and Sophia Martinez. For Anna, becoming a debutante is expected; she comes from a very well-off family, plus her mother, Diana Phillips, won her Debutante Ball. As the film also shows, there is heavy pressure on both Diana and Howard Phillips for Anna to succeed, and it was definitely getting to her.
