Beginning in 1969 winner and loser shares include League Championship Series. Loser's shares in 1903, 1905 and 1907 and winners' shares n 1906 and 1907 include club owners' slices, which were added to their teams' players' pool.

Under a voluntary arrangement made by the club owners, the players shared in the revenue from Game 5 of the 1910 World Series as compensation for the lowest-attended among the first four contests.

Players on second, third and fourth-place teams shared in receipts for the first time in 1918. From 1919-1925, only players on second and third-place teams shared in receipts, but fourth-place clubs were included again in 1926.

Currently, the players' pool for World Series shares is formed from 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series and 60 percent of the game receipts from the first four games from the League Championship Series and World Series. Sharing in the receipts are--the World Series winners and losers, League Championship Series runners-up, Division Series runners-up and second-place finishers (non-wild card teams).
