Here's a post-season drought list. Like the other lists I've done recently, if a franchise moved cities in the middle of a current drought, I'll include both the franchise drought and the city drought in this list. Every MLB franchise has made the post-season, but one team hasn't. The Washington Nationals moved to DC from Montreal in 2005 and haven't made it. Also, the Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies, although they have won pennants or World Series, have never won a division title.
**Team that hasn't been since a franchise move. Year indicates year of move.
