The Really: Most teams are happy just to make an appearance in the Fall Classic but for the Yankees it has always been about winning. Going into Game 6 tonight the Yankees had won 26 World Series out of 39 appearances (16 more than the 10 Series won by the St. Louis Cardinals). To give some reference remember that the Chicago Cubs have won 2 out of 10 appearances and the following teams have never won one at all.

San Diego Padres (NL, 1969) * 0 2 1998
Houston Astros [Colt .45's] (NL,1962) * 0 1 2005
Colorado Rockies (NL,1993) * 0 1 2007
[Seattle Pilots] Milwaukee Brewers (AL 1969; NL 1998) * 0 1 1982
Tampa Bay Rays [Devil Rays] (AL,1998) * 0 1 2008
[Washington Senators] Texas Rangers (AL,1961) * 0 0
[Montreal Expos] Washington Nationals (NL,1969) * 0 0
Seattle Mariners (AL,1977) * 0 0

The Yankees have won the World Series in the following years: 1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and of course
