It’s October 3rd, as fans of the cult classic comedy Mean Girls have been reminding the internet all day long.

For the first time in 19 years, Minnesota won a playoff game with a 3–1 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday in Game 1 of the American League wild-card series. The win marked the club’s first in the postseason since Oct. 5, 2004, snapping the longest streak of playoff futility in North American sports history.
