With Rangers eliminated from playoffs, MLB's streak of no repeat champions extends to 24 years

The last time Major League Baseball had a back-to-back champion was in 2000

Yes, we haven't seen a team win back-to-back World Series since the Yankees did so three straight years from 1998-2000. Not only is the longest MLB streak without a repeat champ, but it's the longest streak in major professional sports here in North America. Namely, the NFL, NBA and NHL have never experienced anything like this.

The Giants won three titles (2010, 2012 and 2014) after having previously not won any since moving to San Francisco
The Red Sox won their first title since 1918 and four in all (2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018), the most this millennium
The Diamondbacks (2001), Angels (2002), Astros (2017), Nationals (2019) and Rangers (2023) won their first titles in franchise history. The Astros won again in 2022
The Cubs won their first title since 1908 (2016)
The White Sox won their first title since 1917 (2005).
The Marlins won their second title in their 11th season overall (2003)
The Cardinals won two titles (2006, 2011), giving them an NL-high 11
The Yankees won the 2009 championship, giving them an MLB-high 27
The Phillies won their first title since 1980 (2008)
The Royals won their first title since 1985 (2015)
The Dodgers won their first title since 1988 (2020)
The Braves won their first title since 1995 (2021)

Arizona needs a Atlanta or New York sweep tomorrow. If they split Arizona is eliminated.

Feels dirty. I wonder what position player the Mets are pitching in game 2?

The Mets are pitching Joey Lucchesi who has pitched in ONE game this year with an ERA of 10.38.

Night night Dbacks.

Mets are actively trying to lose... swinging at every pitch.... regardless if it is 10 feet outside of strikezone..... and only down 1 run...

The Dbacks have no one to blame but themselves but the hurricane moving it to a doubleheader today instead of playing last week completely changed the dynamic of those two games.

Kind of like the 1998 UCLA-Miami game.


I know.

TOO SOON!

Same guy who didn't vote for Jeter?

I heard Ichiro did not get a unanimous vote in Japanese HOF balloting either.
