Bucky Dent never would have hit that cheap home run.
I hope they fix this. Could I schedule a playoff manually?

Your forgetting that there was no wild card back in 1951 or 1978. As of now if there are two teams tied and both teams would make it into the playoffs, they don't have a playoff game in MLB baseball. One team is declaired the division winner and the other just the wildcard.
