The Math Says - Toronto Out of Playoffs
Monday, September 5th , 1977
They have certainly not struck fear into the hearts of any other Major League Baseball teams this season and as of today the Toronto Hurons are officially out of the race for the postseason.

This is the club's 14th playoff miss in a row. They last appeared in the postseason in 1963. In total, the Hurons have missed the playoffs 27 times in their 32-year history.
Seattle Playoff Hopes Officially Zero
Monday, September 5th , 1977
The Seattle Emeralds have spent much of the season on the outside looking in at the playoff race. They will be permanently on the outside now, after being officially eliminated from contention today.

Seattle last appeared in the postseason in 1955. This is their 22nd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 28 times in their 32-year history.
