best team of all-time of all time not to win the world series?

Question

I don't know but I guess it would be one of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the late 40's and 50's.

Answer 1

1954 Indians (111 wins and lost 4 in a row to the Giants. (4-0)
1956 Dodgers (Even better than the '55 World Championship team but they ran up against history in '56. Among that history was Don Larson's perfect game, 10/8/1956.
1960 Yankees (Yankees won 3 games by pounding Pirate pitching into the ground, but somehow the Pirate managed to win when it counted the most. It broke my heart but what a incredible series.)
1969 O's (The O's were celebrating before the series began. Wonder what they did with all the unopened champagne?)
1979 O's (Again the O's were a great team and up in the series 3-1 but crashed and burned as "We are family" won in 7 games)
1988 A's ((Kirk Gibson's home run set the stage for maybe the biggest upset of them all. I lost 50 bucks on this one! lol)
1996 Braves (The only people who believed the Yankees would win this series were the team members. My heart was with my Yankees but I knew the team was young and they were going up against the defending world champions. This may have been the sweetest of the 4 recent championships.)

Answer 2

I have to agree with the Brooklyn Dodgers of the late 40's and early 50's and how about the 1994 Montreal Expo's/1994 Chicago White Sox who were up by what, 20 games when the strike ended the season? That could of been one the classic World Series of recent memory.

Answer 3

Actually the Brooklyn Dodgers did win a World Series in 1955 over the New York Yankees !!!

Answer 4

The Tigers will win palms down. The Most Dangerous Lineup within the recreation the person who would be near is the Red Sox. From Granderson To Jones the Best. and whenever you decide on up a glass of Dontrelle Willis's Calibur and feature a Rotation like this: Justin Verlander Kenny Rogers Dontrelle Willis Jeremy Bonderman Nate Robertson recognise you've a well rotation to move along side it. Their simplest weakness is Robertson there and could nonetheless be a 2d or third starter on different groups. All gamers within the subject have a danger to have Gold Glove successful Years as good. so yeah: THE DETROIT TIGERS -- THE 2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS

Answer 5

I like you Dodger blue,You seem really fair with your answers,
Your one of the few PPL that doesn't act like a jerk, YES the BD of the late 40's and 50's were a GREAT TEAM,i guess i have a soft spot for all the NY teams,I like the dodgers,I saw the Roy Campella story on the TTN a few weeks ago,He was one hell of a catcher!I would love to see a Yankee Dodger,world series :)))) But yes the BD of the late 40's and 50's were one hell of a team!!

Answer 6

2001 Mariners.
1953 Dodgers.

Looking just at the Series, the 1960 Yankees beat the sand out of the Pirates overall but still went down.

Edit: how could I forget the 1995 Indians?

I'm glad to see mention of the 1994 Expos. That team was something special... too bad we'll never know just how special.

Answer 7

I LOVE the 94 Expos answer (probably the best team nobody has ever heard of)

More realistically the 1960 Yankees or the 1975 Red Sox

Answer 8

some of the great Giant teams of the 60s,they finished 2nd about 5 years in a row,but the 2 teams that won 116 games,neither won the Series....the 1906 Cubs, and the 2001 Mariners....heck, Seattle never made it out of the first round of the playoffs.Hard to beat that.

Answer 9

Cleveland Indians

Answer 10

1978 Red Sox. Incredible offense. Choked away a huge lead to the Yankees and never made the playoffs.
