Two questions:
Question 1: This year was a rare year for Major League Baseball: no wild card team advanced to League Championship Series. Since the Wild Card was introduced in 1995, this has happened only 3 other times. Do you know which years?
Bonus for Question 1: Only one of those three years did all four #1 seeds (ie- the teams with the homefield advantage advance to the next round), which year was that?
Question 2: This is the Yankees' 8th ALCS appearance since the playoff format changed in 1995, the most in baseball. Which two National League teams have each made 6 NLCS appearances in that span?
Bonus for Question 2: The Boston Red Sox are second-most in ALCS appearances since 1995 with 5, who has the third-most?
Answer the questions below in the comments (if you're on Facebook or using an RSS feed, please go to http://www.noyoureatowel.net/ to submit your answer). I'll reveal the answers later tonight.
Update: 10:45 AM: Question 3: After everyone got the others correct, I figured I'd add one more. Since 1995, only 4 teams have ONLY made the playoffs as the Wild Card. Can you name those 4 teams?
