<P> Every MLB franchise has at least been to the postseason, especially since expansion of the playoffs in 1994 made that feat easier . The Mariners have the longest active postseason drought at 16 years . Long postseason droughts were ended recently by the Nationals (30 years for the franchise, 45 seasons over 78 years for the city, ending in 2012), the Pirates (20 years, ending in 2013), the Royals (28 years, ending in 2014), and the Blue Jays (21 years, ending in 2015). </P> <P> This list includes only the modern World Series between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), not the various 19th - century championship series .
