Good guess, but incorrect. |

| I'm not sure, but I'd assume it'd have to be a Wild Card team, so I'm going to guess the '95 Rockies. |

Good guess, but incorrect. A division winner would be more likely to get in with a sub-.500 record than a wild card team. In order for a division winner to do it, there need be only 4 or 5 teams with sub .500 records in one league. In order for a wild card team to do it, there need be at least ten teams with sub .500 records in one league. |
