The playoffs were notable for a number of reasons, including the unexpected success of the Tampa Bay Rays, who had never made the playoffs before. The Rays won their division, the AL East, with a record of 97-65, and defeated the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox to reach the World Series.

The World Series itself was also memorable, as it was the first time that a World Series game had been suspended due to weather. Game 5 was suspended in the middle of the sixth inning due to heavy rain, and resumed two days later. The Phillies went on to win the series in five games, clinching their first World Series championship since 1980.
