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.
