The Minnesota Twins lost 18 straight postseason games from 2004 to now. Here are some of the other teams who can relate to such a string of playoff futility.
3-1 in the wild-card round of the MLB playoffs Tuesday, their first postseason win since 2004. A lengthy drought between wins isn't unusual, but what makes the Twins' run particularly galling is that they lostpostseason games. That's three straight losses in the 2004 ALDS, four 3-0 sweeps and losses in the 2017 wild-card sudden-death game and the 2020 wild-card round.
It's not the only such streak of playoff futility in American sports, but sadly for Twins fans, it was the longest. In fact, every other MLB team has won at least one playoff game since the Twins' last win, on Oct. 5, 2004. Now that they've finally notched a postseason victory, Twins fans can breathe a sigh of relief -- and remember other teams from MLB, the NBA and the NHL who can relate to their struggles.
The latter half of the 1970s wasn't great for Blackhawks fans -- though their team kept making the playoffs, they went four full postseasons without a single playoff win. They finally broke that streak with a sweep of the, who eventually won the title, to six games in the 2007-08 Eastern Conference finals. Unfortunately for them, that's the highest they've climbed since then. They were swept by4-1.
