1992 Season

We missed out on two great pennant races in 1992.  Oakland and Toronto finished with identical 96-66 records, but in different divisions.  Toronto prevailed in the Championship Series -- we'll accept their legitimacy as the AL representative to the Series on that basis.  In the NL we missed out on a close race between Pittsburgh and Atlanta.  The Braves made it to the World Series, so we don't have to replay this one.
