It is a title they earned by winning a playoff game. The title also tells you how far they’ve gone as you always refer a team by the highest title achieved. For example, the Yankees are divisional champions, while the Tigers are league champions, and the Giants are world series champions.

Seems somewhat overblown to me.

It makes me even more grateful for his efforts out of the bullpen late in the season and in the playoffs.
