World Series Fact

[Sean Mota]

Here is something interested.

I believe this will the 100 WS in Baseball. The Yankees have gone to 39 of out the 100. They did not start their franchise until 1913. This means that they did not exist for the first 10 WS. So they have been in the WS 39 out of 90 for a 43%. Amazing that they have made it to the WS this many times.

Boston came into the League in 1907 and only have 4 WS apperances (4%).

Florida Marlins came into the League in 1993 and already have two appearances in the WS (20%).

Chicago Cubs came into the League in 1903 and have only 2 WS appearances (2%).

P.S. Made an error on the Marlins percent. It should be 20% and not 40%.

Florida Marlins came into the League in 1993 and already have two appearances in the WS (40%).

If they played in 1993, this would be their 11th year. So 2/11 ?

Made a mistake on that 40%. It should be 20%. Even 2/11 is still a good 18%...
