Sports dynasties are not built on regular-season accomplishments.
The late 1990s and early 2000s New York Yankees were a dynasty, winning four World Series titles in a span of five years as part of a run of 13 consecutive trips to the postseason, a run that stands as the second-longest streak in MLB history.
The Los Angeles Dodgers now sit third on that list after reaching the postseason for the 11th time in a row, but have just one World Series title to show for that run of April-September success.
The longest streak belongs to the Atlanta Braves, who punched their ticket to October 14 times in a row from 1991 through the 2005 campaign, also winning a division title each year during that stretch aside from the strike-shortened 1994 season.
