Just 3. Red Sox won 2 in that span and the Cardinal won 1.

Interesting. So you're saying that the Yankees and Dodgers each had over 900 wins, and not a single one of those wins was followed by them holding up the World Series trophy?

Interesting.

Interesting.

Money tends to only buy you playoff berths; they do not buy World Series rings.

Giants won a measly 821 games. Rough decade for them.

Crazy one division was so dominant they had 3 teams in this graphic and they beat each other up yearly. Would not have guessed TB would be on this, and this doesn’t even include the year they went to the WS. Only 2 years under 80 wins. But haven’t had that dominant 100 win season... or ever. Consistently good, but not good enough.

lol -
I'm thinking 27 other teams would have taken the Giants decade vs the one they had. heck, even St. Louis might trade theirs for San Francisco's.

Don Larsen, who pitched only perfect World Series game, dies at 90.

Chapman, now German. I certainly agree with the concept of 2nd chances if meaningful steps are taken to redress wrongdoings, but still not a good look.

that Kershaw fella's a bum. I looked at the top 100 in saves and he was nowhere to be found.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Well....now the Astros have company...

Red Sox used replay room to steal signs during 2018 season

Report: Red Sox used replay room to steal signs

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28440015/report-red-sox-used-replay-room-steal-signs-2018-season

The Athletic, citing anonymous people who were with the Red Sox in 2018, reported that Boston players would visit the replay room to decipher their opponents' sign sequence and then relay the information to the dugout.

Alex Cora may have some explaining to do.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

A lot of Yankees fans were starting to hate the Astros more than the Red Sox so this is just a rebalancing of the force.
