    In Major League Baseball, if two teams tie for the Wild Card how is the tie broken?

    Question #99472. Asked by star_gazer. (Sep 16 08 8:34 PM)

    		If two teams are tied for the Wild Card, the tie shall be broken as follows:

    A one-game playoff shall be played on Monday, September 29 to determine the Wild Card. The site of the game would be determined by a coin flip and the winner of the game shall be declared the Wild Card.

    Example of Scenario #3: The Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox tie for the AL Wild Card. The New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics win the AL East and AL West, respectively. The Mariners and Red Sox would play a one-game playoff on Monday, September 29 to determine the AL Wild Card.

    Which two major league teams played the only triple-header in baseball history, and what was the result? These games were played in 1920. My source does not specify that it was an MLB game but I believe both teams currently compete in the Major League.

    How are major league baseball schedules determined -- ex: why do AL teams play only some NL teams, and how are they chosen?

    I just noticed that there is a Major League Baseball team named the Washington Nationals, I do not remember there being such a team, when did this happen, and also were any teams kicked out of the Major League because of this?
