Why do I love the playoffs?  The answer is simple, if you get in despite your performance during the regular season, there is a chance to win a championship.  Take the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals as a prime example.  No one in  their right mind saw this team winning it all, especially with the numerous issues they had throughout the season.

Want to own a part of baseball history? The ball that went through Bill Buckner’s legs in game six of the 1986 world Series will hit eBay on October 15, and the auction will close 10 days later at the exact minute of the 25th anniversary of Buckner’s error. Bidding starts at a cool $1 million.

I'm sure most of you have seen the infamous 9th inning video of Game 6 from the 1986 World Series.
