Baseball stat question
- Thread starter Davis
- Start date
Unfortunately, I think the answer is the New York Yankee organization. In 107 years, the Yankee organization has a total of 26 World Series crowns (roughly 24.3 %). I would think the Marlins are right up there as well...they've won 2 championships in 15 years (13.33 %).
I'd be curious to know how many baseball fans realize that the Yankees started out as the Baltimore Orioles?

Yeah, I had no idea it was that high. I don't follow baseball at all. I have gone to several games and I watch the playoffs if Philly is in it but that is about it. I played it, under protest, as a child. I was one hell of a pitcher but I was scared shitless that every ball was coming right back at my head. That caused me to quit come HS.
Yankees have pretty much dominated baseball. The Cardinals have the second most championships with ten...16 less than the Yankees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Series_won
Correct. Here's the hat of the 1901 Baltimore Orioles; which would become the New York Highlanders, then the Yankees.

Bringing another sport into the discussion, the NHL's Montreal Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups.
On a percentage basis, as of 2008, the franchise has won 26% of all Stanley Cup championships contested after the Challenge Cup Era, making it one of the most successful professional sports teams of the traditional four major sports of Canada and the United States.
