Dallas Won't Make Playoffs
Friday, September 24th , 1976
The Dallas Wranglers put together a respectable playoff push, but ultimately their bid to reach the postseason fell short. Today, the club was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
Before this season, the Wranglers last missed the playoffs in 1974. In the 98 years they have been a Major League Baseball franchise, they have missed the playoffs 86 times. In the last 10 seasons, the Wranglers have made the playoffs 6 times. Dallas has won the World Series 4 times in their history.

Bulls Celebrate Wild Card Win
Friday, September 24th , 1976
As the clock struck midnight in the Kansas City Bulls clubhouse, the celebration showed no signs of slowing down. The Bulls were certainly ready to celebrate their National Baseball League wild card berth.
"It's time to let off a little steam after a grind of a season," said first baseman Chris Taylor. "We may act a bit like teenagers tonight celebrating, but we'll be back to being big leaguers tomorrow."
With a 91-68 record, Kansas City will be seeking its 1st Major League Baseball championship.

Detroit Season Won't Continue in Playoffs
Thursday, September 23rd , 1976
The Detroit Wolverines were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention today. Darrell Klug of the Wolverines said it's a tough way to finish out the season.
"To be eliminated from playoff contention in the last few games, it's not easy," he said.
The Wolverines had a streak of 9 straight playoff appearances before this year. In the 96 years they have been a Major League Baseball franchise, they have missed the playoffs 80 times. In the last 10 seasons, the Wolverines have only missed the playoffs once. Detroit last won the World Series in 1969.
