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.

 

Here goes.....

 

  1. Chicago Cubs- 1908.  Chicago Cubs 4- Detroit Tigers 1 (99 seasons)
  2. Cleveland Indians- 1948.  Cleveland 4  Boston Braves 2  (59 seasons)

  11. Baltimore Orioles- 1983.  Baltimore 4- Philadelphia Phillies 1 (24 seasons)

  30. Boston Red Sox- 2007.  Boston 4- Colorado Rockies 0 (most recent World Series champions)

 

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.

Interesting list but I dont think its correct  I didnt notice the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins on your list.  for the years between 1924 and 1987 ....63 years

The Minnesota Twins are on there.   They are number 18 on the list, won in 1991.

The Senators aren't on there because I explained in the insturctions that only current franchise's are on there, and abolished teams aren't eligible for the list since they are never going to win again.

I misunderstood your use of the word "abolished",  I didnt think it meant "moved".

Well when certain teams have moved cities I kind of consider them abolished since it is a new team name and a new city, which creates a new franchise.  The only team I made exceptions for were the New York Giants, because a lot of people consider them the same typically, and the Seattle Pilots, since they only played one year in Seattle then moved to Milwaukee.

Teams like the Nationals I consider new since they last were the Expos and I double anyone from Montreal would care if they win.
