World Series

The San Francisco Gaints and The Texas Rangers

An interesting note is that the Giants won the 2010 World Series, but have the worst record in baseball as of April, 12th 2011. The Texas Rangers have the best record.

The Tampa Bay Rays Have never won a World Series. 2008 is the Rays first winning season (above .500), made the play-offs, and won their first pennant. Only time will tell if they will win their first World Series in 2008.

The most is 5 from 1949-1953 where they won all 5 and 1960-1964 where they won 2 and lost 3.

The Yankees weakness in the 1980's into the 1990's was pitching. The best pitcher the Yankees had in the early 1990s would have to be Jimmy Key but he did not start pitching for the Yankees until 1993. In 1993 , and 1994 Key won 18, and 17 games. In 1995 an injury kept him to one win. The Yankees didn't have any other pitchers that would stand out during this time. Scott Sanderson won 16 games in 1991 with a 3.81 era, and 12 wins 4.92 ERA in 1992.

The St. Louis Cardinals have only played the Texas Rangers once in the World Series and that was in the 2011 World Series in which the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers in seven games.

In 2007, they played the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox swept the Rockies, 4-0.

Yes, once. In 2001. They beat the Yankees in seven games.

MLB uses 6 umpires for playoff and World Series games ... home plate, first base, second base, third base, left field foul line, right field foul line.

As of the 2009 season, the Phillies have won 2 World Series. The first was in 1980 when they defeated the Kansas City Royals, 4 games to 2 and the second was in 2008 when they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 4 games to 1.

Five innings

No team has ever come back from a 3-0 defecit to win the World Series.

The last (& only) pitcher to hit a grand slam home run in the World Series is Dave Mc Nally of the Baltimore Orioles. He did it to win game 3 (vs Cincinnati October 13, 1970) of the 1970 World Series.

The Seattle Mariners have been in the Major Leagues since 1977 (33 years) and have never been in the World Series. If you're asking about the longest drought of a team who HAS been in a World Series before but hasn't been in one since, the Chicago Cubs were last in the World Series in 1945, but haven't been in one since, making that a 65 year stint.

Three times. The 2001 World Series was pushed back to October 27th and ended on November 4th because of the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The 2009 World Series didn't begin until October 28th and ended on November 4th because of the World Baseball Classic before the start of the regular season.

The 2010 World Series began on October 27th and ended on November 1st.

MLB does not require teams to make up late season games cancelled due to rain if the outcome of the game will not change the standings. The September 25 game, scheduled against the Chicago Cubs, was cancelled due to rain and was the second game of a two game series. The Cardinals were so far ahead of every other team in the League, at that time by 10 games with only four games left in the season, that it was not necessary to make up the game since they had already clinched the pennant.

Through the 2008 season, the Indians have won two World Series:

1) 1920 - defeated the Brooklyn Robins

2) 1948 - defeated the Boston Braves

The Florida Marlins defeated the New York Yankees,4 games to 2, in the 2003 World Series.

The National League won 44 World Series titles, though the Yankees have 27 of those American league wins if you were to subtract the Yankees(A power house team since forever who by chance happens to be an American league team) 27 wins the National League would have 8 more World Series wins than the American league.
