Three postseason droughts of at least 10 seasons have ended, with the Marlins, Padres and White Sox all headed to the playoffs. Their droughts, of 16, 13 and 11 seasons, respectively, were three of the four longest active ones entering 2020, behind the Mariners’ -- which was extended to 19 seasons when they were eliminated this year.

With each of those droughts spanning more than 10 seasons, what those teams looked like and how their playoff runs went might not be top-of-mind. It’s always fun to remember some teams, and remember some guys, too.

Here’s a look back at what the Marlins, Padres and White Sox each looked like the last time they made the playoffs.

2003 Marlins: Won World Series in six games vs. Yankees

Regular season: Juan Pierre played in all 162 games, leading the team. He also stole 65 bases to lead the Majors. The team leader in home runs was Mike Lowell, with 32, followed by Derrek Lee, with 31. It was the first time in franchise history that they had multiple 30-homer players in a single season. It’s happened four times since, in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2017. Lowell also led the team in RBIs, with 105. Luis Castillo was the team leader in batting average among qualifiers, at .314. The squad’s other .300 hitter was Pierre, at .305.

Carl Pavano and Brad Penny led the team in starts, with 32 each. But the 23-year-old Josh Beckett, who made 23 starts and one relief appearance, led qualified Marlins pitchers in ERA, at 3.04, as well as strikeouts with 152. And 21-year-old Dontrelle Willis had a 3.30 ERA, second-lowest on the team, en route to a Rookie of the Year Award. He had the only two shutouts among the team’s staff. Braden Looper led the team in saves, with 28.

Postseason: The Marlins’ last playoff run is probably the most memorable of their three, since it ended in a World Series title. The Marlins won 91 games, second-most in franchise history behind 1997 (92), and made the playoffs as the Wild Card, with the 101-win Braves winning the NL East. In the NLDS, they faced the Giants, who they defeated in four games. In the NLCS, it was the Cubs in a memorable seven-game series. Catcher Iván Rodríguez was named NLCS MVP. They faced the Yankees in the World Series, winning in six games, with starter Josh Beckett winning World Series MVP. It was the second title in franchise history, and preserved a historic streak: The Marlins have never lost a postseason series.

A 20-year-old Miguel Cabrera, who had debuted on June 20, hit four home runs for the Marlins in the postseason, the most by any player under age 21 in a single postseason.

The Marlins had two managers in 2003, replacing Jeff Torborg with Jack McKeon after the team started 16-22. At 72 years old, McKeon would become the oldest manager to win a World Series. They’re one of two teams to win the World Series after replacing a manager in-season.

2006 Padres: Lost NLDS in four games to Cardinals

Regular season: Brian Giles led the team in games played with 158. A 24-year-old Adrián González led the team in home runs with 24, while veterans Mike Cameron and Mike Piazza were tied for second-most on the team with 22. It was the second-to-last season of the future Hall of Famer Piazza’s career. Current Dodgers manager Dave Roberts led the team in stolen bases with 49. González was also the qualified team leader in batting average, at .304. Cameron and Giles tied for the team lead in RBIs, with 83 each. The team was managed by Bruce Bochy, who would begin his title-filled tenure with the Giants the next year after 12 years with the Padres.

Jake Peavy led the team in starts, with 32, a season before he’d win the 2007 NL Cy Young Award. He also led the team in strikeouts, with 215. Young had a 3.46 ERA, lowest among starters, while Cla Meredith’s 1.07 ERA was lowest among relievers to throw at least 50 innings. Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman had 46 saves to lead the NL, and along with his 2.14 ERA and 0.97 WHIP, he finished second in NL Cy Young voting to the D-backs’ Brandon Webb.

Postseason: 2006 was the second straight season in which the Padres made the playoffs as the NL West winner, which represents the only back-to-back postseason appearances in franchise history. In 2006, they finished with the same record as the Dodgers, but got the division title for winning the season series, 13-5. Just as in 2005, when they lost in the NLDS, the Padres lost in the first round yet again. In 2005, it had been a sweep at the hands of the Cardinals, and in 2006, the two teams squared off in the NLDS again. The Padres won a game this time, in Game 3 behind a strong Chris Young outing, but still weren’t able to win the series against the eventual World Series champions.

2008 White Sox: Lost ALDS in four games to Rays

Regular season: Orlando Cabrera played in 161 games, the most of anyone on the team. Carlos Quentin led the team in home runs with 36, while Jermaine Dye and Hall of Famer Jim Thome were tied for second with 34 each. Quentin also led the team in RBIs, with 100. Dye had the highest batting average among qualifiers, at .292, along with 41 doubles.

Mark Buehrle led the team in starts with 34, while Javier Vazquez led in strikeouts with 200. The lowest ERA among starters belonged to John Danks, at 3.32. Closer Bobby Jenks had 30 saves and a 2.63 ERA. Four White Sox pitchers threw a complete game: Vazquez, Danks, Buehrle and Gavin Floyd.

The oldest player on the team? None other than the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who was acquired from the Reds at the Trade Deadline.

Postseason: Three years after they quenched a title drought by winning the 2005 World Series, the White Sox again found their way to October. In 2008, it required a Game 163, as the White Sox and Twins both finished their 162-game schedules with 88-74 records, and only one would make the playoffs -- as the AL Central winner. The White Sox won, 1-0, at U.S. Cellular Field, thanks to a seventh-inning solo home run by Thome. But that momentum did not carry over to the playoffs, as the White Sox managed only a win in Game 3 of the ALDS, losing to the eventual AL-champion Rays.

It was Ozzie Guillen’s fifth season managing the White Sox, after he’d led the team to a World Series title in his second year.
