So even if you want to not count the last 5 division titles for ... reasons .... the Braves still shattered the prior record with the 9 you feel comfortable crediting them with.
As for it being easier than it used to be, the longest postseason appearance streak since the Braves/Yankees streaks ended is the Dodgers current 6 year streak (which happens to be 6 Division Titles as well).
No one else has gotten more than 5 consecutive postseasons.
So the Braves success remains singular.
In contrast, four teams have won three consecutive World Series.
If you asked me which one I would rather have, I'd take the titles. If you asked me which was harder to do, no question I'd pick the divisions.
