Wild-card winners produced [edit]
The Central division was the last division in baseball to produce a "wild-card" team that actually competed in the playoffs—in 2006—twelve years after its creation (in 1994, the AL's first "wild-card" team—the Indians—did not play, because there were no postseason playoffs that year). On September 24, 2006, a victory by the Twins guaranteed that the wild card would come from this division, eliminating the Boston Red Sox of the American League East from wild-card contention, and also ending a three-year streak of wild-card appearances by the Red Sox. The Twins eliminated the White Sox from playoff contention on September 25 and then passed the Tigers on the last day of the regular season to give the Tigers the wild-card slot. The Tigers went on to win the American League Championship.
