With the possibility of a Cardinals-Dodgers wild card game looming, let’s take a look back at five previous postseason matchups.

The 11-time World Series Champions St. Louis Cardinals and the 7-time World Series Champions Los Angeles Dodgers appear to be on a collision course to meet for the sixth time in postseason play. Yes, these two historic and stored franchises could be facing each other again in a one game winner-take-all Wild Card game on October 6th.

Twice these teams have met in the NLCS and three times in a Division Series game, with the Cardinals winning four out of the five series. Both NLCS matchups have propelled them to the World Series.

Taking a look back at these games will bring back some memories of players we remember, and some we’ve maybe forgotten.
