So who has gone the longest without winning a World Series???
The list is right here. It is organized from longest to shortest in how many seasons a team has played since their last World Series title, if they ever won a World Series, I have designed this list myself. Every current MLB team is listed on here. Abolished teams do not count.

I did this all in a couple hours one night that I couldn't sleep. I didn't use any list already on the internet. I researched the World Series records and the teams that haven't won the World Series and created the list in Microsoft Word. If I find anyone else takes credit for this list you will be sued.
