What mlb team won the most world series

The Atlanta Braves are the official winners of the 2021 World Series for only the second time since moving the franchise to Atlanta. The Braves defeated the Houston Astros 7-0 in game 6 of the World Series. The odds were surely stacked against the team after the Braves lost their star pitcher, Charlie Morton, to a broken in game 1 of the World Series.

Despite the team's amazing 2021 World Series victory, they are not at the top of the list when it comes to who has won the most World Series in the history of the MLB. In fact, the Braves have not won a World Series since 1995.

There is a reason the New York Yankees are labeled the most hated baseball team in the US by everyone who resides outside the Bronx: as the most successful team in the history of MLB by quite a long chalk, fans of other sides tend to find the pinstriped New Yorkers hard to stomach.

The Yanks even revel in a nickname bestowed on them by their arch-rivals the Red Sox in 2002, when former Boston chief Larry Lucchino alluded to the “evil empire” over the Yankees’ success in landing Red Sox target Jose Contreras, who would eventually go on to win the 2005 World Series with the White Sox.

For Yankees detractors, it is the regularity of their success that breeds contempt. The Bronx Bombers have played in 40 of the 116 World Series contested to date, winning 27 of those. The next most-successful team, the St. Louis Cardinals, have won 11 of the 19 World Series they have contested. Those two records represent the only double-figure World Series winners in MLB history.

Behind the Yankees and the Cardinals are the Athletics and the Red Sox, with nine wins each, and the Giants and Dodgers, with eight and seven respectively, several of those triumphs for both those sides coming when they were city rivals to the Yankees under their former identities as the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers prior to their relocation to San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1957.

With little to trouble the Yankees’ rule as kings of New York since then (the Mets have won the World Series twice, albeit most recently in 2015, with the Yankees’ last win coming in 2009) the rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees, widely considered the longest-running and most fractious rivalry in US sports, has been permitted to flourish.

Red Sox got some revenge at Yankees

The 2021 MLB postseason started with the Red Sox and Dodgers winning the AL and NL Wild Card Games, sequentially. The Red Sox got back at their A.L. East arch-rival, defeating New York 6-2 at Fenway Park on Oct. 6.

Only six teams in MLB history have never won a World Series: San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays (who were last season’s runners-up), Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners, who hold an uncherished record as the only MLB side to never have played in a World Series.

Between 1919 and 1924, no one dominated and changed a national sport, or sany sport for that matter, more than George Herman "Babe" Ruth did with American baseball. The generation that lived to see and hear him play are now almost gone, and younger generations may not realize the impact that Babe Ruth had on sport, and indeed, on an entire nation. His .690 career slugging percentage will almost certainly never be broken and many of his baseball records still stand to this day. He was also one of the best pitchers to have ever played the game of baseball. He was one of a kind and it is doubtful that we will ever see a sportsperson like him again.

Babe Ruth was born in Baltimore Maryland on February 6th, 1895, at a time in American history where the infant mortality rate was astonishingly high. Housing in an industrial city like Baltimore was crowded, unsanitary, and often unheated. Diseases were rampant, were not treated at all, or were simply untreatable. Children among the working class at that time were frequently undernourished, susceptible to deadly diseases, and were either living in poverty or on the edge of poverty and they died in the thousands. So many infants died in the first year of birth in the late 1800's, that many babies were not even named by their parents until they reached the age of one. This was the type of world that George Herman Ruth Jr. was born into, and his family, like many families at that time, suffered the terrible consequences. Tragically, out of eight children, six of his brothers and sisters would die in childhood. Exactly how they died, is seemingly lost to history and completely overshadowed by the success of the life of the brother that lived.

As a boy, Babe Ruth grew up in a rough and tumble area of Baltimore called "Pig Town". His father was a bar owner or "saloon" owner as bars or taverns were called in those days. Ruth's father, George Herman Ruth was in many ways, an absent father, as most working fathers were during that time in history. As the story goes, a great deal of the senior Ruth's time was likely consumed with the day to day running of the business rather than the raising of his children, which to be fair, would have been a luxury at that moment in American history. Ruth's mother, Catherine Schamberger, was chronically sick with tuberculosis and thus was not likely able to attend her two children either.

THE HIGHEST achievement in baseball is claiming the World Series championship title.
