As the Dodgers close in on a potential National League West title, it is important to note just how significant another divisional crown would be this season. After all, the Dodgers have never been to the postseason for three straight seasons.
It seems absurd when first hearing or reading those words. The Dodgers haven't been to the World Series in 27 years, but they have a rich and storied history on par with the upper echelon of National League teams. From 1947 to 1966 the Dodgers won 10 NL pennants in 20 years.
But in the first 131 years of the franchise, the Dodgers have never been to the postseason for three years running.
