Every teamand player in the world prepares for the season with one goal and one goal only: Becoming World Series champions. Even so, 6MLB teams still haven’t won a World Series title throughout their history.

On the other side of the picture, we find franchises like the New York Yankees, who have been to nearly half of the World Series (and won the most with 27) since the very first edition in 1903. It’s just the kind of duality we find in sports from time to time.

There have been 115 editions of the World Series thus far. Countless great players and legendary managers have lifted the Commissioner’s Trophy year after year, while others had to retire without ever achieving that kind of success.
