After further review, it appears Henry Aaron may be the only truly major historical figure not on an active team. So we’ll proceed with accepting the 1958 Braves into the Last Chance Qualifier.

That leaves two slots to fill out the 96-team field. Those will go to the 1931 A’s and the 1912 Red Sox, two teams that made it into the Second Chance but narrowly missed out on advancing. The ’31 A’s were initially seeded 10th, finished the first round 99th, then went .498 in the Second Chance. The ’12 Red Sox were seeded 16th, were 94th after the first round, then went .493 in the Second Chance.

So with that, the Last Chance Qualifier is about to get underway. Here are the 16 teams favored to make it through the tourney and advance as seeds 85 to 100 in the Quarterfinals:

1966 Dodgers
1949 Dodgers
1994 Expos
1978 Dodgers
1958 Yankees
1951 Dodgers
1949 Cardinals
1946 Cardinals
1906 Pirates
1922 Giants
2011 Yankees
1951 Yankees
1952 Dodgers
1948 Braves
1963 Twins
2009 Yankees
