I could probably write a paper on it or at least a very long post – which I may do later. The wildcard is one of the factors in the game's current financial success – coming out of the '94 strike-shortened season, with the wildcard being put in place in '95. Even in the face of its diminishing importance on the landscape of American sports, baseball has become more profitable and franchise more valuable over the last twenty years.
Besides the NHL perhaps, is there a sports league that hasn't gotten richer and franchises more valuable over the past 20 years?
