Playoffs? No Chance for New York
Sunday, August 27th, 1995
New York Yankees fans have long since given up any meager playoff hopes. The Yankees made it official today, becoming mathematically eliminated from qualifying for the postseason.

The Yankees have missed the playoffs 16 times in their 19 years as a Doubleday Baseball League franchise. This playoff miss is the club's 12th in a row, with their last postseason appearance coming in 1982.
Carl Willis's Home Robbed
Friday, August 25th, 1995
Carl Willis's home in Pittsburgh has been robbed, the reliever has told media.

"They took pretty much everything, completely cased the place," said the 34-year-old grimly. "I'm not sure if it was someone who knew I was a pro ballplayer or just a random thing, but it feel terrible either way."

Thankfully, Willis said, his family wasn't home during the incident.

"We can replace possessions, but no one was hurt, that's the main thing."

Paul Shuey said morale around the clubhouse is low, but they are trying to band together to help Willis through the situation.

"We're all bummed out, but happy he's OK and hopefully they can catch the guy who did this," he said.
Detroit Mathematically Eliminated from Playoffs
Thursday, August 24th, 1995
The Detroit Tigers will soon be packing their bags and heading home for the year. The 1995 season won't involve a playoff run for the club, as Detroit was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention today.

Detroit last appeared in the postseason in 1992. This is their 3rd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 11 times in their 19-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Tigers have missed the playoffs 3 times. Detroit last won the World Series in 1989.
