First question true- never has a team finished last in ST and made postseason in last 45 years.
Question two- yes two is correct. But not STL- 97 Marlins 98 Yanks.
Question three- we led in an inning but never a complete inning. True.
Four correct. Two lefties two righties

Yes. I checked a couple of yours to be true. Whatever I read wasn’t right. The worst in ST is not corrrect.
