The Yankees are one of the best-known (and most despised) dynasties in all of sports. They've won the Series 27 times in 40 appearances, most recently in 2009.

1. Marlins
   Cardinals
2. Reds

The St. Louis Cardinals are baseball royalty. They've won the Series 11 times and took home their last title in 2011.

Like the Yankees, the Giants are frequent participants in the Series. They've made it to the Series 20 times, and they last won in 2014.

1. True
2. False

The Giants are no strangers to immense disappointment. In their 20 appearances, they've won 8 times ... but lost 12.

1. Mets
   Astros
2. Cubs

After beating the Yankees in the AL pennant series, the Astros clashed with the Dodgers in the World Series. It took them seven games, but Houston won the title for their hurricane-weary city.

From '98 to 2000, the Yankees were on a roll, winning three Series in a row. As if that wasn't enough, they'd also captured the title in '96.

For a team that's made so many appearances in the Series, the Dodgers are stuck in a terrible rut. They haven't won a Series since the days of Kirk Gibson … all the way back in 1988.

1. Rangers
   Giants
2. Tigers

In 2012, the Giants tore through the Series and dominated the Tigers, winning in four games and making a mockery of the championship.

The Royals won the title in 1985 with a guy named George Brett leading the way. Then, KC fans had to wait three decades to see the confetti fall on their team again.

The Orioles are mired in a frustrating drought. They won the Series in '83 but haven't even had a glimpse of the title series since then.

1. Cleveland
   Seattle
2. Atlanta

Glavine was the star pitcher for the Atlanta Braves during their 1995 Series title run. During the '90s, Glavine racked up 164 wins, making him the second-winningest pitcher in the NL.

1. True
2. False

The Dodgers are the kings of World Series disappointment. Sure, they've won 6 titles … but they've lost 13, tied with the Yankees for the most blown Series of all-time.

In 2001, Arizona made its investors look very smart -- the team won the Series. At the time, it was a brand-new expansion team that didn't even play its first game until 1998.

2. Marlins

Can you even imagine a more glorious start to a new club? The Diamondbacks might have only one title to their credit, but they earned it the hard way -- they beat the Yankees in seven games.

1. NL
2. AL

The top five teams (in total Series appearances) are led by the NL, with three teams, with two AL teams. The top AL team (Yankees), of course, often seems to render other clubs' accomplishments weak by comparison.

And they call this a rivalry with the Yankees? The Red Sox have only appeared in 12 World Series, putting them at sixth in all-time appearances.

1. Padres
   Giants
2. Rockies

Bochy was the manager of the San Francisco Giants when they won the Series in 2014. He also won titles with the team in 2010 and 2012.

In the entire modern pro baseball league, just two teams have never made it to the title series. We're referring to the Nationals and the Mariners. Maybe in your next lives, guys.

1. True
2. False

The Red Sox tend to triumph when they make it all the way to the Series, which they've won eight times. Four times, though, they've gone home with their heads in their hands.

1. Cubs
2. White Sox

The White Sox have made it to the big series five times in their long history, and they won in 2005. But the Cubs have 11 appearances to their credit, and in 2016 they broke their long "curse" and won it all for the first time in a very, very long time.

   1981

For 106 years, Cubs fans languished in the fires of Loserville, unable to will their favorite team to victory no matter how hard they tried. When the Cubs finally won in 2016, Hell actually froze over a tiny bit.

1. Red Sox
   Yankees

Sorry if we dredged up bad memories for you. In 1994, there was no World Series due to a contentious strike executed by frustrated players.

1. Phillies
   Pirates
2. They are tied.

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are two NL stalwarts that regularly contend for the pennant. Both teams are stuck on seven Series appearances, but the Pirates have won five … the same number that the Phillies have lost.

2. False

True, the Blue Jays have only appeared in the Series twice. But they're undefeated in the Series, which they last won in 1993.

The Mets mostly glare at the Yankees in jealousy. However, twice in the team's history they've come out on top. They've been to the series five times total.

The Brewers put together one magical season, in 1982, when they made it all the way to the Series ... but never before or since.

1. Padres
   Yankees
2. Marlins

The Tigers brought a bit of relief to long-suffering Detroit sports fans in 1984 by winning the Series over the Padres. The city's most recent pro sports title came courtesy of the NHL's Red Wings, in 2008.

1. Mets
   Indians
2. Tigers

For about seven decades, the Indians have suffered a Series drought. Pair the Indians with the Browns and the city seems cursed by pro sports ineptitude … but of course, LeBron and the Cavaliers did bring Cleveland a title in 2016 during the NBA Finals.

Eight teams are stuck knowing that they've never won the Series. They are the Rangers, Brewers, Padres, Nationals, Mariners, Rockies and the Rays.

1. 1911
   1986
2. 2016

Mets fans are past the point of exasperation. They've been watching the Yankees add to their piles of trophies, but the Mets haven't won a Series since 1986.
