Baseball: Post Season Without the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves

It is almost certain that neither the New York Yankees nor the Atlanta Braves will be in post season play this baseball season.

It will be just the second time in 23 completed baseball seasons that this will occur. The other time was in 2008.

The Yankees will in all likelihood fail to make the post season in two consecutive seasons for the first time since 1992 and 1993. They made the post season 17 times in 18 seasons from (1995-2012.)

The Braves will miss the playoffs for just the 6th time in those 23 completed baseball seasons from (1991-2014.) They made post season play, winning at least a divisional title, in all 14 completed baseball seasons from (1991-2005.)
