New York Out of Playoff Race
Thursday, September 16th , 1976
Fans of the New York Knickerbockers who thought the club was playoff-bound may have been a little too optimistic this year. The team was officially eliminated from postseason contention today.
New York last appeared in the postseason in 1973. This is their 3rd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 67 times in their 101-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Knickerbockers have missed the playoffs 6 times. New York has won the World Series 17 times in their history.

Captains Out of Time, Out of Playoffs
Thursday, September 16th , 1976
John Wyrick said it's going to be "an awfully long offseason" for the San Diego Captains after they missed the Major League Baseball playoffs. The club came close, but ultimately ran out of games to secure a postseason spot and were eliminated from contention today.
The Captains have made the playoffs 5 times in their 11 years as a Major League Baseball franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 2nd in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 1974. San Diego last won the World Series in 1971.

No Playoff Berth Coming for St. Louis
Thursday, September 16th , 1976
The St. Louis Explorers have a new opponent: mathematics. The Explorers still have games to play in their disappointing 1976 campaign, but the numbers say they won't mean much -- the Explorers were today mathematically eliminated from qualifying for the postseason.
The Explorers have made the playoffs 18 times in their 95 years as a Major League Baseball franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 2nd in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 1974. In the last 10 seasons, the Explorers have made the playoffs 3 times. St. Louis has won the World Series 7 times in their history.
