The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 World Series on Tuesday, giving them their first championship since 1988. Their 31-season drought had been the 10th-longest active streak in the majors.
Next on the list after the Dodgers? None other than the Oakland A’s, who last won in 1989. With L.A. now back in the winners circle, the A’s move up to take their spot in 10th place, now up to 31 seasons themselves. Here’s the full Top 10:
- Indians, 72 years
- Rangers, 60 years
- Brewers, 52 years
- Padres, 52 years (tied for 3rd)
- Mariners, 44 years
- Pirates, 41 years
- Orioles, 37 years
- Tigers, 36 years
- Mets, 34 years
- A’s, 31 years
In addition, the Rockies (28 years) and Rays (23 years) have never won in their franchise histories, joining the Rangers, Brewers, Padres, and Mariners in that regard.
